Slow internet after updates

I did a big batch of updates the other week and the internet has been slower since.
Config files are up to date
Consolekit is a couple versions old because the wireless breaks if I use the new version.
Files download MUCH faster on my other less up to date arch machine, my download speed on my main machine is <30KB/s, so its painfull.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, if I can't fix this soon I'll have to reformat my machine.

Re: Slow internet after updates

It could be anything. It's good to start with checking if you have the same hostname in /etc/rc.conf and /etc/hosts. Maybe pacman has overwritten your rc.conf or something.

Re: Slow internet after updates

Hostnames are fine. I think it is because consolekit is an old version. But if I update it my wireless breaks. I guess I'll have to try a different distro unless anyone has a workaround.

Re: Slow internet after updates

fixed consolekit but internet is still a crawl.

I think it is an issue with the backend because internet is still slow in a virtual machine using this system as a host.

Re: Slow internet after updates

Chances are the problem is with the wireless connection.

Is the other machine using the same wireless connection ?
What is the internet speed  if you connect the problem machine through a cable ?

Re: Slow internet after updates

I'm also having this problem, i've been trying to find a solution but haven't been successful this far. I checked my pacman.log for package which seem suspicious, because i've only been having this problem for 2 days now. But I can't really figure which could be it:

Re: Slow internet after updates

this slow internet problem have touched many people here, some have disabled ipv6, for me the solution has been to install and configure pdnsd.
look in the forum, there are many threads which can give you ideas.

Re: Slow internet after updates

I had the same problem with my wireless connection. I solved it by downgrading netcfg to the previous version (2.5.4).

Re: Slow internet after updates

My internet has been really slow lately also.... I've spent the last couple hours updating kernels, downgrading kernel, netcfg, wifi drivers then I accidently
came across a package in AUR  aur/netcfg-rt73
seems to add support for Ralink chipsets with netcfg.............. I have never had a problem with my chipset and netcfg until now...  netcfg lost support for ralink after 2.0????
dunno... but it seems to work fine for me now
