We have a problem at Cobequid CN with the timing out after an hour if
someone is downloading a file that takes longer than an hour. We do not
want to disable the timeout feature because we only have two working
external lines. Is there anyway that we can specify that certain file
transfers will not time out while normal surfing will?
That is can we in anyway specify that *.exe and *.zip will not time out if
a transfer of these files has been started? Just curious, this may not be
possible but if it is I'd like to know so that we could make changes on
our system.
