I don't recall seeing this (wild guess) in any of the other replies.
What about a firewall problem? I've seen cases where I FW will time-out
a connection (more-or-less idle SSH in my case) such that it's dead and
won't work, but the client isn't totally aware of that and thinks it's
still here.
I admit this is a long shot, given that the the x-fer traffic *should*
act as a keep-alive. Then again, it's M$ and you said it's on busy days
when things take a while. Just a thought....
Later,

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
