Hi all!
I think you have asked the right question! When a colleague was trying to publish from VS08 to IIS 6 the process failed when trying to "copy" a 1MB size file. I checked the other files in the solution and they were really small: 20KB, 10KB, etc.
So, my first thought was a server-side problem: IIS 6. But a couple of minutes ago, I downloaded the project from Source Safe and tried the same publishing process and it worked. I think it's actually a client side problem. I confirmed this diagnosis by publishing a 60MB size file and everything went smooth...
I'm using a XP box with SP3, Visual Studio 2008. My colleague is using a Vista laptop with Visual Studio 2008.
Maybe the problem has to with the Vista TCP auto tuning feature:

But it's something I must confirm. I will test and I''ll post again about the result.
Thanks for your time!. I really appreciate it.
