If I try, I can usually get a Winlink connect at 1400 bytes/sec which
is a fairly good rate, even for longer messages. We download a 25K
GRIB file every day, usually with no problems. Winlink is very good
about piecing together broken messages. If the GRIB transmission
deteriorates to below 600 BPS, I disconnect and try another PMBO
gateway station. Winlink automatically picks up where it left off and
completes the transmission. It's a great service and a good example
of how ham radio can still be useful in the 21st century.

Interesting, indeed. Is there a setting for that, or is that perhaps just
downloads?

It's always uploads which are troublesome for me (don't download all that
much) and EVERY time I make nearly all the way through - including ALL the
way through other than the handshake/confirmation at the end - and I lose
the connection, it starts over from the beginning on my next successful
connection....
