   | Duh (to myself), you are in fact right.  It's been over 3 years since

   Yes, DataArrival may occur multiple times for a large transfer, and you   
   get no indication of the total size coming at you. I think the packet   
   size is basically whatever is used by the network. I seem to remember   
   sending a "header" that indicated the total transfer size, so the   
   receiving end could process the stream appropriately.
