Comment 29 for bug 720707

What I meant is this bug is capable of triggering other network deficiencies and make it work much worse.

I understand this bug should be fixed itself and I knew exactly what was its behaviour, but in the end if the link gets saturated is in first stage because network misconfiguration. No network properly configured will notice Ubuntu One is running, but not taking only one of the steps listed in the workaround can increase network latency from 250ms to 1000ms. Try yourself: the last two points are easy to test, and I did it with very different equipment.
