Hi,
What were you using as a terminal client? We use Secure CRT and Putty, and neither of them will have any problems with large amounts of data (shell buffers).
But yes, if the program is outputting data faster then you can download it, then directing it to a file and is a much better idea. You can always add:
some unix command > /tmp/file.txt 2>&1 &
to the end of a command and it will output the data to /tmp/file.txt. You can then just tail the file every now and then to see how things are going.
Cheers,
Alex
