I use Velocity. I also run my own DNS and proxy servers (amongst
others). I have noticed some minor problems but I have not looked into
the cause yet.
I occasionally get "no route to host" messages. If I retry accessing the
page the error goes away.
I have also just noticed that the Debian "apt-get update" command does
not always complete cleanly. I get the odd error such as "Err
http://ftp2.de.debian.org testing/non-US/main Packages","Error reading
from server - read (104 Connection reset by peer)". When I rerun apt-get
update the failed downloads succeed. This is fairly reproducible if I rm
-f /var/lib/apt/lists/* before running "apt-get update".
I have used rsync on a gentoo system a number of times without any
apparent problems (emerge sync).
I transferred across from iinet a few weeks ago . Prior to that I
experienced no connection problems so these problems may be coming from
the Velocity proxy server (http, ftp but not rsync). I have not raised
this with Velocity support.
