This start to get weird. I sent a single file (~4 MB) via FTP to a host 
connected via a 10 MBit Hub: freeze. Now I decided to beat it and tested a 
bit around. I copied some folders of my MP3 collection over there, all went 
fine. Then I created a tar file of ~400 MB and sent that which also went 
fine. Even the next try with this file didn't produce a crash. What was 
different on this tests was that I used the console instead of X (don't want 
to munch up too many file systems). Any ideas?
