My system (see below) is connected to the internet via a 10mbit line, shared by a few dozen people. Using plain Internet Explorer with win98 I get download speeds between 10k/s and 50k/s. With getright/gozilla/... I see d/l speeds up to 350k/s. On my freebsd box, 30k/s seems to be the maximum. Normally d/l speeds won't go beyond 10k/s, using lynx or ftp. With fetch (cvsup) the situation is even worse. In this case 5k/s is the maximum. Yesterday, for example, I issued the following command: ~# cvsup -L 2 -g /usr/share/examples/cvsup-supfile It isn't finished yet, more than eighteen hours later. There is nearly no load on this box, just me, reading my mails in mutt, and my news with slrn. My box is a Fujitsu-Siemens PIII-866, 128MB, 40GB, 10Mbit Realtek. It is running 4.2-stable. Do you have any idea, what could cause this problem? Bye, Kai Kaminski To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
