Hey, im having a very annoying problem with DSL whereby every time i get about 2 MB into a download it stalls completely. This has happened while trying to get both GNU utils and apt.

Im using DSL embedded on a windows system. Im behind a router and using DHCP. The net connection in DSL appears to work ok other than this although i havent tested it much.

Im not sure how dsl works via Qemu works but is it normal that while all my machines are on the 192.168.1.X DSL has been assigned an ip of 10.0.2.15?

Other than that i must say im really impressed by the entire thing so congrats to the coders

Thank you,
NNP

try "wget -v file"
-v is for verbose, and post results

Yes, it is normal.

FYI, there was a bug in an old version of QEMU that causes network transfer corruption and interrupted dowloads and webpage loads.

So if you visited a web page, sometimes some of the pictures would be corrupted and the page would not completely load.

This was fixed around Nov 2004 if I remember correctly and if your QEMU is version 0.7.2 or 0.8 it is definately no longer a problem.

Just to add another voice:

I too have this problem with QEMU version 0.8 (using QEMU Manager) where download stalls at around 1MB.

When run via the embeded DSL with the packaged QEMU the download stalls at about 3MB.

I can improve the download by saving to hda1 (a QEMU HD) but not by much.

This all makes me think about memory or buffers?

wget as far as I can see does not support the -v switch so I can't post any other info.

Not a major problem as I just get the downloads I want via another method and drop them into the QEMU HD with WinImage..

I seem to remember however that I did have this working with an earlier DSL and \ or QEMU so I'll see if i can re-try that.

You're right, I'm sorry.
Try wget -c 'file'

-c is for : continue retrieval of aborted transfers
