Hello, still I'm not on the list ;-) and here's my next question (you'll see the two issues are related):
When i download via aptitude on textconsole, the progress bar shows around (take a deep breathe) 5300B/s. However, if i switch to some neighbour tty and go back, the value immediateley is decreased to < 1000 B/s, or even stalled. It needs some 5 seconds to recover. I wonder if this is only an (curses) UI display issue ? Or if the spped really gets slowed down ? Maybe related to some 'nice' process priority ? I experimented to nice up (t.i., down ;-) the apt links to around -16, and aptitude to -14. Indeed this seems to enhance things a little; but still it does go down - however, not so much as before (say, around 3000 B/s). Could anybody explain this to me ? Related question: There's a multilink-feature in the kernel. Is this something i can use for a dialup modem to increase download speed ? I want to add that pppstatus sometimes shows up to 12 KB/s when browsing http. greets -- mi .... and don't believe them when they say: -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Jetzt ein- oder umsteigen und USB-Speicheruhr als Pr�mie sichern! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
