Package: polipo
Version: 1.0.4.1-1.2
Severity: important

I've got an UMTS/3G connection with a 5Gig per-month traffic limit,
after which it slows down to ISDN-like 8KiB/s .. so I thought, hey,
installing a caching DNS server (pdnsd) and a proxy might improve the
feeling of this a little. While I think it does help, as I often open
multiple tabs at once (like from a google search), I'm running into
problems: all pages start loading fine, then at some point network
traffic dies down and the pages never finish loading. Aborting and
re-requesting a page load even gives a blank page, with the status bar
displaying an annoying "Waiting for foo.bar..." for many minutes, when
they suddenly may finish loading.
Shooting polipo in the foot by restarting it breaks all pending page
loads, but situation normalizes and reloading the tabs in question
works, and quickly.
What gives..?

/etc/polipo/config:
> cacheIsShared = false
> diskCacheTruncateSize = 131072
> dnsQueryIPv6 = no
> dnsNameServer = 127.0.0.1
> dnsNegativeTtl = 1m
> censoredHeaders = from, accept-language
> censorReferer = maybe
> forbiddenUrl = http://localhost/adzapper/webbug.gif

/etc/polipo/forbidden is a huge list, updated by
