Hey Folks, I'm sitting here trying to learn some Good Stuff while listening to music from my computer at work (via the nice, old iTunes 4.0). For the first time I can remember, the stream is choppy enough that the music is interrupted every, oh, 10 seconds, max. Really *&^$)(*&^! annoying.
I logged into the machine at work, and saw that it is running its usual processes. Nothing nasty. I went to download a file via sftp (secure file transfer protocol), and saw that the transfer rate was a measly 25KB/sec. It normally is roughly 330KB/sec. I checked again, and it was down to 15KB/sec. (B for Byte, not b for bit) This is really pitiful - no wonder iTunes was choking. I went and downloaded some game from versiontracker (something big enough to be able to measure the time), and found that I was getting about 100KB/sec. Anyone know any tricks for trying to find out where the slowdown might be? Bill | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be July 27.
