any way lots the bottom line is when I downloaded open office my
connection was sitting solidly at 32kb/s but when I run up2date the
connection is only giving 6k/s.
I am using gkrellm to monitor.
I have plenty cpu time and mem free and the eth0 just sits virtually
dormant, almost as if nothing was happening

mmm any ideas
