We have definitively not the same systems ;-) The echo tcp brings an
error for netlog.

But for further puzzling things (for me).

If I try to download the kertex tarball from "my" site (I just pay for
some space on a remote server; it is not my machine) the performance are
abysmal.

I tried another site, with http, in this case:

http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/base.zip

since the file for the base LaTeX is the same size as the tarball for
the whole kerTeX.

In this case, I have the following:

first ": 1024
second ": 34k
afterward: 1.7M!

So there is "something" about the "negociation" between hget and
"my" site that is not good---note: "my" site uses cookies (I don't;
this is the Apache running on the server that does; my pages don't
use cookies at all and I have no hand on that). I wonder if some
"persistent" (cookie) information could cause this misbehavior
(since I have a multiboot PC, this very same IP address is depending
on the moment whether NetBSD, Plan9 or, more rarely, Windows 8.1).
