I have a slow internet connection, and with large downloads it often happens

Does anyone have any experience with this problem, and is there a way to solve
it? And, why does it happen? I'd be curious to know.
Thanks for any help

What kernel are you using? If it is >2.6.23 try this: echo 0
>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_frto and try the download. If it does not
"stick" then the new tcp_frto is your issue. If that is the case,
kernel devs are working on a fix right now. For a work around do this:
add a line to /etc/sysctrl.conf net.ipv4.tcp_frto = 0 that will turn
tcp_frto to "off" when you boot. This issue you describe is close to
what others have complained of concerning this subject.
HTH.
