Well.. it's look like it was a one shot luck only cause I reinstall my server and
it's still doing the same probleme the only difference is I can send more data before
crashing. I can send arroung 300mo for mutli file and over 600 for a single file. but not
more than that. This is the log I get right after the probleme.
