As the subject says, this is a strange one...
From what I can tell, it appears that firefox might be throttling my
download speed. I've tried downloading from a number of different places
and the speed never gets above 4kbs, which since I'm on ADSL (finally)
is a bit slow. Judging from the amount downloaded (ie. 700 k in a couple
of minutes), it's reporting the speed accurately (or thereabouts) and
everything else I do happens at the speed I would expect it (apt-getting
90mb's of data in half an hour or so etc.).
Is it my imagination? Have all the servers I've tried to download from
recently just been slow? Or is there some sort of option I need to set
somewhere ;) Anyone? Please? I'm using sarge (albeit with a freshly
downloaded gimp 2.0, but I doubt that will make a difference).
Cheers,
