Thanks for the insight. You're also sharing a maxed out T1 so I'm not sure how to interpret that data - I suppose that 10K isn't awful if 10 other systems are hitting it at once.
I have to stop my testing now. I've got Sprint queued up to do some intrusive testing so I have to bring the line back up. Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of things though.
Pete,
Just wanted to interject a couple observations. I'm connected to the Internet through a 15Mb frac ds/3 from ATT and a T1 from Sprint. I of course of no way of telling which pipe our automated downloads are coming from. However, I too have noticed really slow download speeds. I use wget, and I've never had a single problem, other than occasionally it is extremely slow sometimes. Once it does actually download, it's always a "clean" download. I haven't seen a single instance of the error_bad_matrix.
I also wanted to pass on a tool that I've heard a lot about. It's called Matt's Traceroute. I've never actually used it myself, but I'm told it's excellent for detecting flaky T circuits and such. Here is the link to the program. http://www.bitwizard.nl/mtr/ I don't no if it will help with what you're doing or not, but thought I'd suggest it!
Hope one of these days everything gets back to normal, and you can finally get some sleep!!
-Russ
