Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pptp-linux
I've had this problem since long ago, when downloading at high speed (ubuntu images from my uni's network and similar) my network connection would become unresponsive, and I had to reconnect. This hit me real hard today, as it kept happening while I was browsing a single youtube clip. My dorm uses PPTP to connect to the net, and we have a fairly juicy line (~100mbps). I've researched a bit, and tried to adjust the MISSING_WINDOW in pqueue.h to 6000 from 300 (per [1] and [2]), and I think this fixed my problem. I guess this could've been fixed upstream already, but still would be nice to have this backported if possible. If nothing else, this bug- report might help someone else with the same problem.
