Now in Lucid Lynx the download speed seems to be the same as in Windows. Nowadays, there is no need to turn of the TCP window scaling. If you have done it, i'd recommend to turn it on again by commanding:
echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling Interestingly, turning of the TCP windows scaling did not have any (positive) effect on speed on elderly computers (described in the attachment: lshw-IBM-laptop-fast.txt). -- 3G download speed is very slow compared to Hardy on elderly PIII computers or Microsoft Windows OSs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525049 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
