Just my pennyworth - I've been experiencing this problem for 5 days to a week - but been using Gutsy since RC5.
Basically the speed of my connection drops the longer I am on the net - but as I couldn't get any updates earlier today I booted into recovery mode, and updated from there. Worked like a charm. I then downloaded a 150mb file (which I had been trying to get for some days) - no speed problems - worked like a charm. Booted into normal mode - had great difficulty getting any internet connection at all - and eventually managed a very slow connection. If my gut feel is right the problem is not with the network, but with the internal workings in the Ubuntu Desktop? -- Internet extremely slow in Gutsy after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155393 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
