Hmm, Assemsofts and EasyMiNTs inet4.xdd behave the same (work good on 1.16).
EasyMiNTs (your "version check removed") and trunk inet4.xdd show DL problems
with 1.17 and 1.18.
So is it possible that this problem is caused by changes somewhere else in MiNT?
Something that is not transmission-related but perhaps some kind of buffer-,
data- or cache handling... because downloads run fast until they stop.
Just an idea...

This was part of the mtu-discussion some years ago, IIRC. No, this never happened
here:
- 1.16 + modem: No problems (the good slow old days ;-) )
- 1.16, 1.17 and 1.18 + ethernec(NE2000 card perhaps not properly working):
  Speed slow, massive amount of in-errors in ifconfig, but up/downloads are
  working good (no stop, all mails are sent+received correct).
- 1.17 and 1.18 + NetUSBee: DL stop, Mymail hangs when receiving mail often ->
  broken mails in inbox. Didn't really test sending mails with large attachments.
