hey,
some days ago i tested ftp server to see what speeds capable is 9front
virtual machine,
i'm using old installment - i wanted to test it on fresh system before
posting on net/irc but maybe it is related

somehow downloading file from ftp client on another pc manages to
broke all connectivity on guest system,
drawterm is unable to connect, 9p disk service is down.

strange thing is that displaying netstat output on guest/cpu lags on
certain moment.

testing was done with 650mb file and can be reproduced.

Stuff:
guest:
cwfs from 2016
kernel recompiled in august 2019.

host:
vmware workstation 15.5.5 build-16285975
Qualcomm/Atheros e2200 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
(with jumbo frames 9KB MTU)
