Bug Description

Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10

Is there any reason why I should be getting econnresets while transferring files (usually quite large 3M to about 6G) to clients on these machines?

It started with the problem on our own http server which was getting timeouts but I've subsequently tracked this back to the connection reset somewhere on the client architecture. I can't be more specific but my Fedora boxes don't have this problem and neither do our Macs (haven't checked windows). The problem seems to be specific to clients running on Ubuntu machines. I've seen this happen with our own server, with some test code I wrote and with the lighttpd server. It varies between clients, mozilla-based browsers being particularly susceptible and Chrome being surprisingly robust but it's not limited to http clients, I get the same with ftp clients as well.

I can't actually say because I'm no longer working on servers but I
would imagine this is still extant. However, it doesn't seem to be a
problem for us other than causing a few fail-overs, our software has a
fair degree of robustness built into it, but it would be nice to see
this issue resolved. Let's say the issue is current but non-urgent. I
don't have time to go back and verify if the problem persists since we
have some urgent upgrades to our database software going on at the
moment but I could try and verify the situation in a couple of weeks
once the pressure is off a bit.

Regards,
Norman.
