So apparently this bug is back. in a big way...

http://ein-eike.de/2015/01/02/fixing-download-speed-problems-under-steam-for-linux/

Anyone else run into this? any better solution than a dnsmasq (which worked remarkably well when i installed it)

​Also has anyone looked at the ​concept behind File sync flooding resolution posted by modifying write barrier? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_barrier

I am wondering if i can apply this to my system in general given the use of LVMcache

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
