D'oh! I feel like a complete fool :)
Yes, 10 * 4096 is much less than 65536 - that will explain it!
I don't think I can tell windows to send me less data, which might be a
bit of a pain.
Still, I can still get it working by breaking the request into 40960
byte chunks.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. Arithmetic has never been my strong
point :)
