if you system is up for many days, sometimes i will not be able to
browser web site. but the BT download still works. i can also ping the
web site. i really have no idea how to troubleshoot this. even 'curl'
cannot get the web page. it feels like all tcp connections are
blocked.
my system is gentoo amd64, kde 4.4.
How are you connecting to the net?
Are you sure this isn't the router? Have you tried switching it off
and back on again? (seriously)
There is a tendency in BitTorrent to fill up the NAT tables of routers
with insufficient RAM. I cannot explain why this would appear not to
affect ping.
Stroller.
