Can you verify if your external IP address is the same before and after the error? I know of a DSL provider that regularly forces a new external IP address onto its clients to prevent them running se
That is only about 40 kB/s. That is very slow for a DSL line and will take almost 2 days to transfer 6 GB. My guess is that there is something wrong with your DSL line. Do you see a lot of dropped pa
