This bug also affected me. But changing MTU to 1360 fixed it. I was surprised when it worked. I am guessing that HTTP is forwarded over some link with a smaller MTU and "Don't Fragment" set. You can ping the site with packets upto 1500 bytes. But sending HTTP with packets of more than 1400 bytes, gets no response at all, presumably they don't get through to their server.
Believe it - it really works. -- linkedin very slow on Firefox Linux only https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
