I usually use lynx to go and look up stuff on the web all the time, and from
sites, I get these checksum errors. My transfer rates drop to about 70> bps
and the checksum errors fill up my logs.

I can almost always find a site or two that does this to my system. Are
there any test that I can do to help anyone here track down te cause of this
annoying thing?

I've been seeing this for a while, but I don't know what kernel version it
started from for me. I'm running 2.1.90 right now.
