The logs can be found here:

http://www.frostjedi.com/terra/curl01.txt
http://www.frostjedi.com/terra/curl02.txt

The first one gives a different error in the CLI (stderr?) - "Uploaded
unaligned file size (0 out of 351232 bytes)". I get this error about,
maybe, 10% of the time. The other one (the second one) occurs about 90% of
the time and gives a "Connection time-out" error in the CLI.

Maybe, but wouldn't a firewall just block the port? Here, it's able to
connect and even issue a few commands. It just doesn't seem to want to do
anything after that.
