I wonder where the timeout is happening

It isn't ftpd timing out it is the player software which is sitting there thinking it is in the middle of a sync wondering why nobody is talking to it (since we are uploading fids via ftp instead).

Technically the player doesn't have to be in sync mode at this point, but there are some special fids that must be uploaded through the player software and I wasn't going to rewrite jemplode to change the order that it uploads things to delay those.
