I would be happy to do this, is there a particularly large file I can curl down while running a capture? Also perhaps another hostname other than distfiles.macports.org so I can do a side by side comparison? As it is now, I get really good download rates: curl -O http://distfiles.macports.org/apache20/httpd-2.0.61.tar.bz2 % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 4472k 100 4472k 0 0 1415k 0 0:00:03 0:00:03 --:--:-- 1454k $curl -O http://distfiles.macports.org/gimp2/gimp-2.6.8.tar.bz2 % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 15.5M 100 15.5M 0 0 1564k 0 0:00:10 0:00:10 --:--:-- 1641k I also just ran mtr to for about 5 minutes, and 0% packet loss, which in all honesty, is unusual, almost all routes will have some packet loss over 5 minutes. Though I do have a very direct route going from Comcast right to level 3 and then hitting macosforge.org. For those who get 5KB/s can you post your location, and run a trace from your location to distfiles.macports.org. For what it is worth, I can get that route to barf on me by upping the packet size, but I also find that is pretty normal and consistent to any route. How do we know this is not just a bandwidth issue? Ping is used to determine and choose the route, but that has nothing to do with network saturation on the actual box. Perhaps there is simply a lot of activity on the machine, or network. What are the specifications of the network this server is connected to? -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ * _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
