[ale] large file downloads & Comcast (Now Local Net)

[Christopher Fowler]

Here is one problem I had today.  

Case 1 takes about 10 minutes:

# mount -t nfs 192.168.2.200:/tmp /mnt/cdrom
# cd /
# tar -l --same-owner -psjvf /mnt/cdrom/backup.tar.bz2 .

Case 2 takes about 2 hours and stalls:

# cd /
# tar -l --same-owner -psjvf - . | ssh root at 192.168.2.200 "dd
of=/tmp/backup.tar.bz2"

I normally do #2.  It is easy and very quick.  It just seems like for
these systems it is taking too long.  One time today I checked the file
and it was at 49M.  I took a shower, got dressed and checked again.
49M.  Not sure what is going on.  As a test I did an scp.  very fast
works great.
