Very Slow downloads in 7.04

amy

I have just fixed my slow internet web page browsing issue (IPV6 in FF and in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases) and now I only get 4-30KB/s downloading.  That same file I get 400+KB/s in XP.

Anybody have a hint?

Describe your connection and broadband, and output of Code:
uname -a
cat /etc/resolv.conf
Possible cause could be MTU mismatch, DNS problems, or the issue describe here:

uname -a

Code:
wilsond@sondolap:~$ uname -a
Linux sondolap 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Code:
wilsond@sondolap:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!
nameserver 208.67.220.220
nameserver 208.67.222.222
I prepend those OpenDNS name servers in my /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf file.

I also run my own DNS server, but using that instead of one of the DNS name servers does not help any.

I have 10MB cable connetion.  I usually see downloading speeds anywhere from about 400-600KB/s on windows (before I switched to ) and now I am getting 20-50KB/s on 7.04

Mr. C:

Thanks a bunch for the help.  the TCP Window Scaling fix worked for me.  My download is at 421KB/s now, which is on par with XP.

I have had the same issue in Windows Vista.  It is called Auto Tuning and it does the same thing, actively resizes the packets for better bandwidth consumption (well, not in my case).

Excellent.  Glad the fix worked.
