Well, I'll be darned. That did it that time. I'm now getting
1311Kb download and 403Kb upload. Not great but beats the heck out of
30k.
I'll have to research this some more, now. I still can't believe how
that could set the speed down to 3Kbs down and next to nothing up.
The peer2peer is for VR stuff (Croquet and SecondLife), and is needed to
affect anything like reasonable operation.
Unfortunately, I don't know why the iptables firewall causes the slow
downs - perhaps if you tried just one or other of ipv6 or MTU, that will
narrow it down. Actually, it might be ipv6 - when you stop iptables,
were you doing service iptables stop, or using the iptables command
manually ? What I mean to ask is do you also stop ip6tables ?
I wouldn't have expected such a large change. However, there is a lot of
limited memory adsl/routers out there. If they fill their limited {eg
500 connection} session table {stateful packet inspection}, then further
connections will be a problem. My old D-link was like this if a I ran
p2p for more than an hour or two. Rebooting the modem/router helped, but
causing my ISP to allocate a new IP address also worked.
