I recently leased a godaddy.com dedicated server, and while they didn't offer freebsd as an option, I used the fine guide at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/remote-install/ to get freebsd installed. I noticed that the installation was taking a long time with ftp as the source media, but I had thought that maybe I just picked a bad mirror.
After the install was complete, and I started to install some ports, I was still seeing really slow download speeds. I then decided to see if something was wrong with the system by downloading the same image from the same source that I downloaded on linux in order to bootstrap freebsd and the speed difference was appaling. It had downloaded at 10.29 MB/s. Once freebsd was installed, It will only go at 60KB/s.. I have tried messing with the options mentioned here: http://spatula.net/blog/2007/04/freebsd-network-performance-tuning.html but that provided no results. Here is some info about my setup: dmesg and the output from sysctl net.inet are attached as files fsserver# netstat -I sk0 Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll sk0 1500 <Link#3> 00:30:1b:44:4d:4d 16318 0 13163 0 0 sk0 1500 72.167.50.0 ip-72-167-50-116. 15896 - 13161 - - fsserver# vmstat -i interrupt total rate irq18: fwohci0+ 2 0 irq19: skc0 uhci1+ 51928 46 cpu0: timer 2138741 1921 cpu1: timer 2128730 1912 Total 4319401 3880 %netstat -I sk0 Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll sk0 1500 <Link#3> 00:30:1b:44:4d:4d 32321 0 25510 0 0 sk0 1500 72.167.50.0 ip-72-167-50-116. 30854 - 25508 - - any help is greatly appreciated, let me know if there is any more info that I have forgotten to include that might be needed.
