Network access stalls apparently on large(ish) transfers

Hi there,

I'm running a guest Debian 7.8.0 (32 bit) on a 64 bit Win 7 host.

Everything appears to be working, except that on large(ish) network transfers, the connection seems to stall.

So if I do a wget of a file of around 90MB, it typically gets to around 20% before stalling. If I cancel the command, I can immediately resume with a "wget -c" and it starts up again just fine.

The same problem appears to exist when using git to download files - large ones stall.

Is there a way to diagnose this, or is there a known fix?

TIA,

wpb

You didn't specify but there is a new 4.3.24 version of VirtualBox you could try.

I didn't realize I was so out of date! I only downloaded it a few days ago. ;)

Anyway, that has indeed fixed it - many thanks for the pointers.
