Public bug reported: There has been a lot of discussion about slow network (Ethernet) connection in Ubuntu 8.04 and higher:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/slow-internet-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-8.04-637922/ http://www.zyxware.com/articles/2008/08/01/slow-broadband-in-ubuntu-hardy-speed-up-your-internet-connection http://www.chrisamiller.com/blog/2008/11/26/slow-internet-on-ubuntu-810/ In my case, none of those solutions worked. But I noticed that increasing CPU usage increases the connection speed and using the CPU at maximum makes the connection work completely fine. I am connected with 100 Mbit speed. Normally, downloading speed gets as low as 30 Kbit/s, with the CPU busy it works at 100 Mbit/s. The speed is not slower in LAN, only in Internet connections. This behaviour can be reproduced at any time. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- network speed increases with CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340208 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
