I don't believe the MS control will let you set the buffer size,
Mabry's does. But I don't think that's the problem anyway...

The default winsock buffer size is 8K. But you need to be aware that
the socket stack may (and often does) transmit your data in packets of
whatever size it chooses upto the buffer size. Apparently the server
is sending 100 bytes in one packet and 70 in the next. That's
expected behaviour and you need to handle it.
