@asavah, you wrote "It's a SHAME that such a good fix is not yet in the "official" package."
I'm laughing like anything. I'm the upstream and I make the official package, yet this fix has NEVER come to me. I just happen to notice it now, here. Next time, make sure you talk to upstream before complaining about upstream. ;-) Merged as df45680 after fixing indentation. Thanks for the patch. https://sourceforge.net/p/pptpclient/git/ci/df4568002b67de068bbcf16bbdbca800986f325b/ Ruslan, mail me at qu...@laptop.org if you want your e-mail address added to AUTHORS; I'd normally do it, but it wasn't in the diff. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pptp-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/681617 Title: pptp stops receiving packets when bandwidth spike Status in pptp-linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Arch Linux: New Bug description: Binary package hint: pptp-linux I've had this problem since long ago, when downloading at high speed (ubuntu images from my uni's network and similar) my network connection would become unresponsive, and I had to reconnect. This hit me real hard today, as it kept happening while I was browsing a single youtube clip. My dorm uses PPTP to connect to the net, and we have a fairly juicy line (~100mbps). I've researched a bit, and tried to adjust the MISSING_WINDOW in pqueue.h to 6000 from 300 (per [1] and [2]), and I think this fixed my problem. I guess this could've been fixed upstream already, but still would be nice to have this backported if possible. If nothing else, this bug- report might help someone else with the same problem.
