Wifi Freezes When Downloading Large File
« on: April 19, 2006, 06:05:20 am »
I'm running pdaXrom beta2 on C1000, CF WiFi Dlink DCF660W card. Everything concerning wireless networking runs fine, except for one glitch: when downloading large files (over 500kb) with Firefox, download freezes firefox completely. Smaller files seem to be ok.

Downloading large files with mc over ftp is fine, fetching large ipks via qpkg manager is also ok.

Is it firefox-related issue? Does anyone experience similar problems?

you need to change your temp location to somewhere with plenty of space for the temporary files

Hmm...sounds like a reasonable idea. Is there any specific reason why /tmp is just a symlink to /dev/shm/tmp? Maybe that's causing a problem?
Maybe it's better to delete this symlink and have /tmp on card?

I had the same problem with Firefox too. The only fix I could find was to hide the download Process box. Now when I download a file it doesn't show the download process but I can download large files.

Hope this helps.
