Run this on the tivo:
cd /var
mkfifo ty1
mkfifo ty2
mkfifo ty3
mkfifo ty4
mkfifo ty5

cat ty1 ty2 ty3 ty4 ty5 > transfer &

mfs_export xxx ty1; mfs_export xxx ty2; mfs_export xxx ty3; mfs_export xxx 
ty4; mfs_export xxx ty5

Now go to any computer with FTP and download "/var/transfer". There are no 
file transfer size limitations because fifos are not files. Timing is not 
critical, running mfs_export before the client computer starts receiving 
just causes the kernel to block.
