Why be so quick to blame Screen Peace?  I think the problem lies in WinQvt.
If you so much as minimize the winqvt window while doing a 9600 zmodem
dl, the program has fits.  The programmers really messed up, you can't move
the dl to the background because it will presumably not get enough clock
ticks and loses characters.

Screen Peace, on the other hand, works perfectly with all of my applications.
