Chris, I've often found tracked down upload/download problems to the 
client's proxy server.  Some have file size limitations that trick you 
into thinking the problem is intermittent, when in fact the successful 
xfers simply fell under the trigger threshold.

Talk to the client's IT department to see if they are running a proxy 
server, and if there are alternates or even if the proxy can be 
disabled for testing purposes.

Good luck!
