If a TCP/IP connection is made to a certain public web server then the transfer rate on Fedora Core 6 onwards is in the region of 100B/S (bytes per second). On Fedora Core 2 and Fedora Core 4 the speed is in the region of 300KB/s (Kbytes per second). wget http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/ --20:57:23-- http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/ => `index.html.1' Resolving www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com... Connecting to www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OKLength: unspecified [text/html] [ <=> ] 11,042 149.60B/s Again on any other FC4 it works fine. wget http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/ --20:57:23-- http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/ => `index.html.1' Resolving www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com...

I then did a fresh install on another machine at the office of FC6 and reproduced both problems. I then did a fresh install of FC8 on the same machine and again managed to reproduce them straight away. I have since downgraded the live server (reinstall) to FC4 and the problem is resolved. The problem does not exist in Redhat Enterprise 3 or 4. This is a bit of a show stopper as rehards using Fedora for us. Anyone any ideas? Quite happy to send the server details for Testing off list. If anyone can give me some ideas how to debug It or provide more information (tcpdump?) I'll be happy to do So. PS. There is also a bug in wget that it shows the transfer Rate as K/s rather than KB/s when doing the transfer as Can be seen above. The summary figure is correct.
