Internet really slow to start downloading

Asked by fifows

Binary package hint: yelp

Since i've updated from 9.04 to 9.10 alpha6 my internet is very slow to START downloading things, seems like it verifies something before starting loading a page or downloading something by wget, apt-get, etc.

I was thinking it was my Wireless (0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 01)) but it has the same problem using Wired network.

Any ideas of what's happening?

Testing with Karmic beta, and I could not find any 'slowness' either with 802.3 (wired) or 802.11 (wireless). I was able to swamp my net connections very easy with large file transfer testing.

Keep in mind sometimes due to debugging code and other things, alpha's and beta's may have some inherent slowness or other weirdness. If you can provide some detailed information about this 'slowness' it may help assist if there is some issue here or not.

Good luck,

Hello guys,

just would like to say that it was a DNS problem...

changing the ipv4 settings to DHCP addresses only and addind the OpenDNS servers solved it!

hope this helps!
