Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
I'm using a Thinkpad 43p, 2GB, and Ubuntu 9.04. The dowload speeds, as reported by Ubuntu's System Monitor runs in the 20 to 80 Kib/s. Mostly around 35Kib/s. The ISP (Century Link) sent out a tech and he reported that the line was good (above a minimum of 9Mb/s. We actually were getting slightly above 11Mb/s on some other machines. We tried three other computers all of which were running some issue of Windows XP. The XP machines all clocked download speeds above 9Mb/s using Speakeasy.net in either a hard wired or WiFi connection. I just ran another speed test and compared the result to the Ubuntu System Monitor: While the external site said about 54Kib/s, System Monitor reported about 12Kib/s. This slow rate is observed with fire fox, thunderbird, pan. Also, I don't know if this is a related or different problem, but sometimes system performance slows to a crawl. When I check System Monitor, it shows the CPU running 100%. When I look at what is running the two top consumers of CPU cycles are Firefox and System Monitor to the additive measure of about 80%. The slow download speed is not directly related to Firefox being open or not, e.g., Pan is downloading, Firefox is not opened... slow download speed. Or, Firefox is downloading and Pan is not opened... same slow download speed.
