I think this may be a Linux question, if not, then we'll label it OT.

I've been trying to upload some small files to two different remote servers 
using http, ftp and WebDAV. I downloaded 3MB of files from my website just 
fine. I can't upload back, however. The connection establishes OK and 
initially for a few seconds the transfer seems to be happening, then it 
stalls, slows down, and deteriorates to nothing. My dialup connection is 
good, surfing speed is excellent, there's no static on the lines. I have an 
external Best Data modem.

My ISP looked and said they can't find anything wrong. They tried uploading a 
file to the same server using the telephone number I'm using, and didn't have 
any slowdown. 

I'm using Debian with the 2.6.10-kanotix-8 kernel. I rebooted into Vector 
Linux with the 2.4.29 kernel and the same thing happens.

I've tried it with the firewall turned off and it didn't change anything. I've 
tried it at all times of the day and night. 

I read about a problem almost exactly like this at LinuxQuestions.org, and the 
guy said the problem was very deep in his kernel. He didn't say how he fixed 
it, though!

Any suggestions welcome.

thanks,
Siri Amrit
