Yuk, I just encountered this problem when doing an 'update' using update manager - it works ok for some sites but then the transfer rate goes to zero for others! I'm going through a BT Voyager 2500 11g router via Talktalk broadband - not sure which the buggy router is Because it's site specific, it works ok via same wireless router for my 2nd ubuntu system, but I'm going to turn timstamps off anyway.

It's mentioned in the release notes as if it is a minor issue- there must e a lot of ubuntu users using oldish home routers - this is going to cause new ibexers a lot of problems, especially if they don't read the release notes carefully so I really think that the default should be with timestamps off until the kernel fix is found. It also should certainly be mentioned in the technical overview 'issues' so people are more likly to see it.
