I keep getting an inactivity timeout error in the middle of an upload or when the upload reaches 100%.

If I keep repeating the upload, maybe the 3rd or 4th time it will sucessfully complete.  Any ideas what

could be the issue?  The upload speed is approximately 5-10 MB/s.

 

example command:

/usr/bin/curl https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content -F parent_id={ID} -F "filename=@{FILENAME}" -H "Authorization: Bearer {AUTHCODE}"

  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

 This seems like a potential bug, but we need a little bit more information to identify what is causing the issue. Can you please file a support ticket about this?

I got referred to my company's IT support group.  I don't really want to bother them because its generally unproductive. So, I guess I'll just live with it.
