[ale] Further to: difficulty downloading large files in Fedora

[dhhoward at comcast.net (Daniel Howard)]

I'm clicking on the URL using Firefox under Fedora, and it works fine on 
Firefox under Windoz (groan).  I'm thinking either Comcast is doing 
something that only affects the way Fedora uses Firefox, or could I have 
a problem with the switch port to which the Fedora boxes are connected? 
  I'll try switching the ports at the router and see if that makes a 
difference.  Daniel
