Try finding a way to throttle the upload rate at about 90% of your upload capacity (some environment variables for the upload program perhaps? Or some parameters one can set in the VM or VM kernel?). "Internet access" is almost exclusively download capacity, so the main reason the "internet access for the house" is at a crawl is that the upload-direction parts of the communication required for downloading take too long to get through even though they take up very little bandwidth. If you manage to throttle the upload rate just a bit, the upload will not take much longer while the "internet access for the house" will become unstuck for typical use cases. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
