What transport layer are you using (UDP/TCP/SCTP/etc)?  Does a simmilar transfer
work if you use an actual TCP/UDP socket, rather than your raw one?  If you're
consistently getting 97.9k transferred, that almost sounds like some sort of
firewall type connection limitation.  Take a TCPDump from the peer to get a
better idea of whats going on when the connection fails
