Yes, those are the errors, but no, I can't turn the service off, as I
do need FTP running. I've not yet tested to see if the connection
reset errors occur with FTP (I will) - so far, all the errors have
been with *web* (HTTP) downloads.
One last thing I should mention - although I *think* that the errors
starting at the same time of the SP2 upgrade, I'm not positive about
that. Could some other automated MS update (I allow them to be
applied automatically) be the culprit? It's definitely something new
within the last month or two though...
Thanks for all your help thus far Coraleigh!
