[-- Attachment #1 --]
I recently leased a godaddy.com dedicated server, and while they didn't
offer freebsd as an option,  I used the fine guide at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/remote-install/ to get freebsd
installed. I noticed that the installation was taking a long time with ftp
as the source media, but I had thought that maybe I just picked a bad
mirror.

 

After the install was complete, and I started to install some ports, I was
still seeing really slow download speeds. I then decided to see if something
was wrong with the system by downloading the same image from the same source
that I downloaded on linux in order to bootstrap freebsd and the speed
difference was appaling. It had downloaded at 10.29 MB/s. Once freebsd was
installed, It will only go at 60KB/s..

 

I have tried messing with the options mentioned here:

 

http://spatula.net/blog/2007/04/freebsd-network-performance-tuning.html

 

but that provided no results.

 

 

Here is some info about my setup:

dmesg and the output from sysctl net.inet are attached as files

 

 

fsserver# netstat -I sk0

any help is greatly appreciated, let me know if there is any more info that
I have forgotten to include that might be needed.
