Hello DustCouncil!

On 01 Jul 2021, DustCouncil said the following...
 Du> Jul 01 15:39:24 S:RETR VERT.qwk
 Du> Jul 01 15:39:34 Unable to open data connection

This the "old" 10-second timeout for QWK FTP responses -- it has been fixed by g00r00 in recent A47 prealphas (raised to 30 seconds I believe, in conjunction with rewriting the code that handles the connections).

The reason this happens at all is that scanning for new messages (preparing your QWK package) sometimes (often) takes longer than 10 seconds.

Best regards
