From: Mark on 20 Jun 2010 03:20 I'm just curious since ABS Doug didn't reply to my suggestions, have you read my reply? Here is the pertinent info below. It's clearly not a hardware problem, on the computer or router, since other OS's work fine. My previous reply: Nuno mentioned looking at your hardware, and it's possible the drivers are different in the Ubuntu/XP/Debian platforms that's causing the dropout. Is it only with torrents, or is it all downloads? What if you download a dvd ..iso file via jigdo or Iceweasel, does it drop out there? Have you checked what drivers and versions are in the differnet OS's you are using for your ethernet connection, to see if that's the issue? I'm trying to help here.

In a torrent, you could have four connections _per peer_. 29*4=116.

I'm sorry, I was trying to figure out what jiado is. Also I've never did a DL through Iceweasel & was trying to figure that out to. Then I got distracted & forgot. I'm about to go & try a download of Ubuntu via torrent to see if I have an issue. If you want to provide more info re: jiado & DL through Iceweasel, I'll try it! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
