Hello,
So, since yesterday, when I noticed that large downloads stop with 96% left
to go since I installed my new modem, I've found a new error message showing
up in my /var/log/messages that tells me "Writing error on pipe
/tmp/diald.info: Try again." It then repeats for some time. This seems to
show up *almost* whenever I try getting a large chunka stuff from the
internet. I've posted the relevant part of messages file below. Any
suggestions?
Rich
