I've tried using ubuntu 8.04 32bit and the problem is exactly the same there. Total system hang when downloading large files.
I've now installed an ubuntu 7.04 and the exact problem doesn't seem to reproduce itself. I've succesfully downloaded a large number of updates(about 400MB if i have to guess, didn't check how much exactly) at 493KBps without hang under the following kernel: Linux lx-ub710 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux I made sure not to reboot to give me some change to test if downloading a torrent would not reproduce the problem. And although my network connection stops functioning properly with a message to submit a bug to rt2x00.serialmonkey, the pc doesn't hang in itself, which was by far the most troubling aspect. I hope this is another problem I'm encountering now, one that can be solved. Although I would love to help fix this problem, the fact that it seems to be ongoing since november 2007 doesn't seem promising and I need this new machine to be productive. -- Heavy network activity (eg: torrent/nfs file transfers) causes Hard System Locks and/or Network Freezes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147464 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
