Re: Awful Bandwidth from Most Sites on Bezeqint - What can I do about it?
I also have problems with bezeqint. I tried ftp from holland. Unencrypted the speed was around 5k/s, encrypted less than 1k/s. worse than that I tried tunneling via a good site (speed guaranteed) and even this didn't work well. Transfer from israel has excellent speed. Other than that, nothing. My conclusion is that they started to apply QOS and other dirty tricks which I noticed via wireshark. I would suggest few things: 1. try to download the same rpm from other sites and compare. and then call them and show them it's impossible to get such low speed from 4-5 different sites. 2. In cases where you can change ports, try to revert to high end ports. 3. Try https. Maybe you will get lucky. In my case it didn't help. 2010/10/14 shimi linux...@shimi.net On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 12:03 AM, Shlomi Fish shlo...@iglu.org.il wrote: On Wednesday 13 October 2010 23:04:55 geoffrey mendelson wrote: On Oct 13, 2010, at 10:47 PM, Shlomi Fish wrote: Can anyone help me shed any light on this problem?

Re: Apple Slim USB Keyboard
I have it set up. Works great - Ubuntu got the volume keys set up automatically (after selecting the keyboard type). On the one I got (iDigital with the number pad), I often accidentally hit the eject button, so I disabled it in Linux. I seem to remember a problem with using the function keys, but I haven't used that computer in some time... The enter key is smaller than a standard keyboard - at least on mine. That took some getting used to. Keep in mind that as cool as they look, they keyboard feels different - I still type slower and with more errors on my apple keyboard than on my standard IBM keyboard. Also notice that the smaller keyboard (without the number pad) has the ctrl key *not* in the corner. That makes writing in terminals a tad weird for me.
