Hicks > jerry_hicks@bigfoot.com Hmm.. you ain't the only one.. I thought it was my ISP, but after a little bit of testing, the problem seems to lie elsewhere. I use dialup with iijppp, and it seems no constant data stream can stay going for more than a few seconds to a minute.. CVSUP never finishes (this is gonna cause a problem once this gets fixed.. someone will just have to mail out the appropriate patches, I suppose) an FTP download never finishes, loading a web page never finishes.. I almost always get the "reset by peer" errors in these cases. Stuff like IRC, however, works just fine for extended periods of time. I tried doing many of the same things over ethernet at work and everything seems to work just fine. Hmmm.. Just tried a cvsup which sped along at normal speed at first but slowed almost to a halt towards the end. At least it managed to finish. Here's someone's FTP upload session to me that, surprisingly, finished. ftp> send d:\test.txt 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'test.txt'. 226 Transfer complete. 22318 bytes sent in 680.20 seconds (0.03 Kbytes/sec) ftp> .03KB/sec with a highly compressible text file between an ISDN TA and my 33k6 modem?
