This motherboard is getting to be a few years old, and has been working fine up until now, it just started behaving like this a few days ago. I'm investigating new motherboards now, since I heavily suspect that is going to be what I'll end up having to do. The drives/controller are not heavily utilized when this happens, the machine is just churning along with low load.

Workaround for making qt4 work with alsa
Hello Debian users, recently I encountered a bug in a qt4 application [1]. With the help of irc user jm_ I found that qt4 doesn't work with alsa [2] (at least on jessie). This is evident when you try to run user@machine:/usr/lib/qt4/demos/qmediaplayer/./qmediaplayer (from qt4-demos), which outputs [08502878] pulse audio output error: PulseAudio server connection failure: Connection refused [08502878] core audio output error: no suitable audio output module I guess I am not the only alsa user being bitten by this, so I wonder if any of you came up with a viable workaround to make qt4 work with alsa again on jessie.

Finally, don't rule out the possibility that your ISP is throttling you. While you may be synced at 50M and may be able to transfer at that for short periods (and thus, the ISP can rightly claim that you have a 50M connection), they could conceivably throttle your connection in the longer term. I think this is quite the most likely possibility. I have only anecdotal reports from friends but what I hear is that often ISPs allow a full speed burst but then throttle for long term steady state data transfer. That matches your reported behavior exactly. This allows customers to run a speed test and have it report full speed but prevent them from getting that speed for a long download such as a full system upgrade or a large install ISO image download. Are you sure your ISP isn't throttling you? Bob I wouldn't put anything past those jackasses but am still attempting to gather information. Would wireshark be a good tool to do an in depth diagnosis of the problem? I've gotten a little side tracked with another problem but plan to get back to this in the next couple of days. Any comments will be appreciated. If you have shell access to a box somewhere, you can run "iperf" to get an idea of the performance of the link between you. Obviously, the closer to you, the better. Take a look at the "--interval" parameter, so you can see how/if performance degrades over time. "--dualtest" might also be helpful. There are probably guides out there on how to get the best results from it, the man page doesn't really do much except list all the options. There may be better ways, but this is the one I typically use. Wireshark would be more suited to analyze the actual traffic, if you suspect something may be wrong there. Petter Thanks for the tips. Don't go away. As you will find in the newest listings, I have a bigger problem at the moment. I will be back to this one soon. Seen and replied to :) Comment on speed testers.

Make a file /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf and put the single line options libata force=1.5G in it. Reboot. If it works, you can then try with 3.0G instead of 1.5G. Thanks, I will try that and see if it helps, but it seems a lot like a hardware problem. This motherboard is getting to be a few years old, and has been working fine up until now, it just started behaving like this a few days ago. I'm investigating new motherboards now, since I heavily suspect that is going to be what I'll end up having to do. The drives/controller are not heavily utilized when this happens, the machine is just churning along with low load. I always have gkrellm open, and there is never any hint that utilization has anything to do with this. You might have your power supply checked as well. With all of those drives, you might be straining for more juice and, as a result, the system appears flakey.

However apt-cache tells you it is a pure virtual name and not a package and no packages named httpd are found. I think that is a little nicer. > I'll post some other information if you need it.

Well, it's not shut down, as I just tried it and it works fine here.
Maybe it was down, though, and you should try again?
If it still doesn't work, then check your firewall. It shouldn't give
you any problems, as you are simply trying to establish a connection to
port 5201 on a remote machine, but check. Enable firewall logging, if
possible, and see if anything gets blocked. Verify that you can reach
the webserver running on the same host.
Also try with UDP ("-u -b 0").
