PPA dependencies - orig.tar.gz from the other archive

[Ernad Husremovic]

Hi Julian, thank for the advice.
In the meantime I have made an workaround:
* split archive to the pieces
* sent to one US host
* dput from it (*)
* archive is delivered.

My router is  WRT-54GL with linux/openwrt. 

Current settings:

root at router-wan-sa-1:/tmp# sysctl -p
kernel.panic = 3
net.ipv4.conf.default.arp_ignore = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore = 1
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts = 1
net.ipv4.icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 30
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 120
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established = 3600
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_udp_timeout = 60
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream = 180

Did you think to ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established ? It is already 3600.


(*) The transfer was incredibly fast. My host is on vpslink.com. Is it in the same data-center as launachpad :) ?

This is often caused by Linksys routers refusing to transfer the last part of 
a file when using FTP.  Try changing the TCP timeout on it to something like 
3600 seconds.
