If you do automated backups (and you should if you do not…) it is a good idea to check on them every now and then. After living with my DSL running at about 1200/120 for the entire night I noticed my backup from last night was still running.

I looked into it and found I was backing up the Knoppix DVD that I downloaded earlier. Needless to say, my 600 upload speed was pretty much maxed out all day trying to send it up.

Morale: Check you backups and make sure you are not backing up more than what you need. And if you Internet is slow, and your modem has been hard rebooted, and still nothing….. check netstat on all your systems

PS. Sorry about the site being slow today, stupid backup script.
