Hey guys,
I was running an ssh session to a remote box from my laptop (FC6).
Meanwhile,
I started a download of a tar ball using Firefox (v.2). And suddenly I was
unable to send any inputs to the terminal. It was like Firefox was hogging
all of the network bandwidth. I waited till the download to be completed, to
send further commands, so that i could really see what I was typing to the
terminal.
Amused, I tried second time downloading a different package using Firefox.
Same thing happened. I tried a `ping www.yahoo.com` and it took at least
five seconds to resolve the host and start pinging the host.
Was wondering if anyone had faced similar situation.
