Users get a 421 timeout (closing server connection)

When doing large files, the server seems to time everyone out

Why is IIS doing this, and how can I make it stop? I'm not using passive mode, so why does it think the connection is dropped in the middle of a file transfer?

I'm guessing your transferring over http not ftp?

If so, try adding a timeout in the ASP page providing the transfer mechanism.

server.ScriptTimeout = 6000

How long is the transfer taking?

The timeout message is for 120 seconds, even though I turned the timeout on the server up to something like 6000 seconds. I think this is something else. Any ideas?

Your ISP? How big are the files? Are clients dial-up or broadband?

What are your clients using for ftp software? I've heard of some client software that will do this.
