            How many states does your statetable have when the freeze happens (monitor your states at status>system)? If you run high and get near 10.000 set a higher state limit at system>advanced (I don't expect this to be the case but have a look at this value).

            What kind of transfer do you use? FTP, HTTP, BitTorrent,…? Except for BitTorrent a transfer should not use too many different connections and therefor should not be affected by a firewallrule limit of any case.

            Do you use the trafficshaper?

              I juste make SSH or HTTP connexion.

              The number of connexion is less than 500.

              But then i pass command like tcpdump, or download a large file, the transfert freeze.
              And a bit of second later, the transfert restart and all is OK.

              I have the same think with all my host.

              It is very stange

              I try to set to none the state type on my rule but it's change nothing

              Some idea ?
