Watch the activity on your server. I suspect what you're seeing is the
transfer complete, and then the server taking a long time to complete
the actual check-in transaction. If your server is low on memory
and/or temp directory space, and it's a large checkin, it could cause
issues.

Have you verified that the network itself isn't to blame?
