We have definitively not the same systems ;-) The echo tcp brings an error for netlog. But for further puzzling things (for me). If I try to download the kertex tarball from "my" site (I just pay for some space on a remote server; it is not my machine) the performance are abysmal. I tried another site, with http, in this case: http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/base.zip since the file for the base LaTeX is the same size as the tarball for the whole kerTeX. In this case, I have the following: first ": 1024 second ": 34k afterward: 1.7M! So there is "something" about the "negociation" between hget and "my" site that is not good---note: "my" site uses cookies (I don't; this is the Apache running on the server that does; my pages don't use cookies at all and I have no hand on that). I wonder if some "persistent" (cookie) information could cause this misbehavior (since I have a multiboot PC, this very same IP address is depending on the moment whether NetBSD, Plan9 or, more rarely, Windows 8.1). -- Thierry Laronde <tlaronde +AT+ polynum +dot+ com> http://www.kergis.com/ http://www.arts-po.fr/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C
