But I still have to manually initiate each "gulp" by selecting a block
for transfer and then hitting transfer. (In fact, that's just what I
had to do. Had to keep checking back every few minutes to see if it was
done with a gulp, to start the next one.) It would be nice if this was
automated. Setting the gulp size by time rather than count would be
fine. This would also catch a hung connection. If too much time elapses
without any bytes flowing, the connection should be dropped and
restarted.
