Getting error 52 indicates problem with the server or the connection to it. A

At least people have reported them and setting another upload buffer size
seemed to fix the problems. It turned out the Windows select() call becomes
slow with some odd sizes on the buffer.

hit I'm talking about is *that* bad.
