For two nights in a row, I've tried to FTP two large HQX files from
apple.com without success--throughput (or lack of same) is abysmal,
like getting 3K of a 300K file after 10 minutes of waiting, only to
have the transfer time out. I've tried this from two different nets
and two different machines (MacTCP and a 4.3BSD machine), with the same
results. This sounds like some sort of net black hole or problem with
IP reassembly, though knowing the pedigree of the software on my end,
I don't think I'm to blame.
Anyone at Apple know what's going on?
