It's the only thing I use to download Debian installer images these days, as it even does the md5 checksum for you. More info here: http://atterer.net/jigdo/ Ubuntu download might be too small to test, that's why I suggested a dvd download. The logic is, if you can download large files on the same OS but from a different software platform like jigdo or Iceweasel, you've isolated the problem to be only with the torrent interface.

FYI, this effectively rules out the MTU issues I suggested earlier, so it was a useful test for that. The multi-OS character would seem to rule out hardware, so at this point the most likely candidate is network drivers. A bit of googling following up on your lspci output (showing an Atheros AR242x device) turned up this page: <http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid#Atheros_Cards> The upshot there seems to be that the Right Thing is to select the "proprietary drivers" option at Ubuntu-install-time, and things should work. If you didn't do that, you can follow the instructions on the page there to get recent madwifi drivers. If you already *did* select the proprietary drivers at Ubuntu-install time, and they're not working, then I suppose you could try the more recent madwifi drivers anyways... -- A. -- Andrew Reid / reidac(a)bellatlantic.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yes, quite right, a DVD. Now which one? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
