For what it's worth, I can't reproduce it either, but that's because of lack of resources, not ability. I don't have the necessary hardware/network connection to cause the weird behavior. If I did, I'd give you better information. However, I don't doubt they're seeing this behavior. They've got graphs and what behavior I could reproduce showed that things were indeed completely bogus. Disabling newreno fixed *those* problems I could fix. > to shutup and go into a corner, I want you to get off your ass and > gather us all up some useful information so that we can solve the > problem.

It's not FUD. These people aren't OS bigots, they're folks trying to get a job done. They could care less if the box was running WinNT, if it got the job done. (FWIW, the ftp client boxes are running NT and Win2K, which *may* have something to do with it, but I don't know, since I can't reproduce it. :() Basically, all I'm saying is that Greg's friend results are similar to what I'm seeing. What's causing this is unknown. If it was known I wouldn't have sent any messages out, since I could have fixed it myself. But, I can't, so you get a message saying 'Me Too', which isn't much help except to verify that there may be some truth to the report. (Call it unbiased independant verification.)
