Hi! When trying to understand why xmms stops playing internet radio sometimes I came across this trace (hope the lines didn't wrap): [snipped] 21:16:15.985224 server.http > client.40944: . 22482048:22483456(1408) ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 9339837 306263695> 21:16:15.985263 client.40944 > server.http: . ack 22483456 win 34816 <nop,nop,timestamp 306420832 4369676> (DF) 21:16:16.004022 server.http > client.40944: . 22483456:22484864(1408) ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 13126582 306263695> 21:16:16.010153 server.http > client.40944: . 22484864:22486272(1408) ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 14356128 306263695> 21:16:16.010182 client.40944 > server.http: . ack 22486272 win 34816 <nop,nop,timestamp 306420834 13126582> (DF) 21:16:16.047752 server.http > client.40944: . 22486272:22487680(1408) ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 21891150 306263695> 21:16:16.053473 server.http > client.40944: . 22487680:22489088(1408) ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 23038224 306263695> 21:16:16.053539 client.40944 > server.http: . ack 22489088 win 34816 <nop,nop,timestamp 306420839 21891150> (DF) 21:16:16.091888 server.http > client.40944: . 22489088:22490496(1408) ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 30643705 306263695> 21:16:16.097608 server.http > client.40944: . 22490496:22491904(1408) ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 31792380 306263695> 21:16:16.097634 client.40944 > server.http: . ack 22491904 win 34816 <nop,nop,timestamp 306420843 30643705> (DF) 21:16:16.122534 server.http > client.40944: . 22491904:22493312(1408) ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 36774422 306263695> 21:16:16.135614 server.http > client.40944: . 22493312:22494720(1408) ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 39395154 306263695> 21:16:16.135643 client.40944 > server.http: . ack 22494720 win 34816 <nop,nop,timestamp 306420847 36774422> (DF) 21:16:16.165856 server.http > client.40944: . 22494720:22496128(1408) ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 45475469 306263695> 21:16:16.178931 server.http > client.40944: P 22496128:22496256(128) ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 48127090 306263695> 21:16:16.178960 client.40944 > server.http: . ack 22496256 win 34816 <nop,nop,timestamp 306420851 45475469> (DF) 21:16:43.983271 server.http > client.40944: . ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 1310109814 306263695> 21:16:44.343712 server.http > client.40944: . ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 1382101841 306263695> 21:16:44.387442 server.http > client.40944: . ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 1390874982 306263695> 21:16:44.431578 server.http > client.40944: . ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 1399659928 306263695> 21:16:44.475305 server.http > client.40944: . ack 1 win 4096 <nop,nop,timestamp 1408415462 306263695> ...

Would somebody please try to enlighten me?
