What comes to a crawl? Your system, or the internet speeds? What else is open at the time?

You could try running "top" from the bash prompt to see if somethings chewing your CPU, or if its something else...

322903 2006-01-14 11:11:00 Yes, you are right, Chill, I am not giving the entire picture here:

top does not show me any specific process that would be chewing up the memory, and yes, it is only the web that crawls. And especially downloading documents: up to 2% slowly then basically stop. (Mozilla)

When repeating the experience, i actually started as many things as possible (yet my installation is quite new and I don't have many ideas what to start nor many large picture files to open!)

I used
free -mo -s .5 to monitor and have a fair chance to see something happening. And top in another console.

As I am quite new, there must be a simple thing I overlooked? :help:
