Do you mean that your patch for HPN for 6.1 works fine? I don't clearly
understand what do you mean by "stalled transfers", and with what version you
get them.

In any case, thank you for revisiting the HPN support! I was looking into it
last week again, but I didn't dare to port the patch to 6.1. And I hadn't
thought of choosing an older openssh only for hpnSupport.

Thank you!
