Ethernet Slow Download

[MarkHaysHarris777]

Please try setting the speed to 100 mb/s
sudo ethtool  -s  eth0  speed  100  duplex  full
also, use cat6 cable.....

It's not a solution and I wanted to make sure no one else thought it was such. That's all. I am still willing to do any testing and provide feedback on any proposed *solutions* to the issue.

Its not only a solution-- its the ONLY solution at this point in time.  My entire network is 10/100.  10/100 is not crippled -- its fully functional and is of much preferred to 'down'.

I want to make sure everyone knows that this solution is the ONLY solution at the moment... use it or don't use it,   the point is that there isn't going to be a simple fix to this problem, and if you want to be connected via ethernet with the PineA64 use a quality cable and set the speed down to 100...  its that simple.  YMMV

That said,  some folks are experimenting with timings.  They are not having much success.   Also, not all boards are having this issue. It may be related to parts issue at one point in the manufacturing process (some parts came from a different source for a time).
