Hi,
my internet often feels slow. When i try to load some pages simultaneously in firefox (for example), sometimes nothing happens until another operation has finished (e.g. liferea fetches a slow feed) - but then all pages will be loaded instantly.
Is there something wrong with my settings? Is there a way to make internet-requests less sequential? I disabled IPv6 already - i had some troubles with it, too.
Thanks
VR

good point
rc.conf
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it

gateway="default gw 192.168.0.254"
ROUTES=(gateway)
hosts
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain.org localhost.localdomain ArchLinux

hosts
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname> 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain.org localhost.localdomain ArchLinux 192.168.0.1 ArchLinux.localdomain.org ArchLinux
I would consolidate that down to this:
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 ArchLinux ArchLinux.localdomain.org localhost.localdomain.org localhost.localdomain
What is the output of `grep ^HOSTNAME /etc/rc.conf` ?

it's
HOSTNAME="ArchLinux"
(yep - i am that creative)

#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname> 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain.org localhost.localdomain ArchLinux 192.168.0.1 ArchLinux.localdomain.org ArchLinux
All /etc/hosts files I've seen always had the bare minimum for localhost i.e. "127.0.0.1 localhost HOSTNAME". And then all the other hostnames (including domain) for the respective IP (if static) were under a separate entry.
I know what is done above is valid, but is it neccessary? I mean, do you own localdomain.org ? Or how does this work?

Try the consolidation of the 2 lines I posted above. You have "ArchLinux" on both lines (once for loopback, once for the 1921.68 address) which may be causing problems.
I've always found this works best in /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 <FQDN> <HOSTNAME> localhost.localdomain localhost

I tested several entries in /etc/hosts the past few days, but couldn't get any improvement (or deterioration).
I just wanted to let you know that installing the Firefox addon "FasterFox" respectively activating pipelining brougth me further and it doesn't feel so sequential anymore.
