I backed out changes to 3 August when the new network code
went in, and that wasn't the problem.

I tried new kernel from yesterday, and same thing happens.
Jeffrey also suggested setting
net.inet.tcp.avoid_out_win_update to 0, but that didn't help.
I haven't tried it today, but there weren't any changes to
the network code.

OK, I did this 3 times:
1. Todays generic kernel(cvsuped few hours ago), trying to
load amazon.com, in which nothing happened: the website was
completely unloaded. Elinks sent packets, but amazon.com
didn't respond.
Results are here:

2. Todays generic kernel, trying to load www.amazon.com (note
the 'www' part). The connection timed out after around 10
minutes, and only few KiB were transfered.
I didn't notice that there is a difference when loading
amazon.com and www.amazon.com until today, when nothing was
transferred when loading amazon.com. I can't remember did I
run amazon.com or www.amazon.com yesterday, but I'm pretty
sure it was www.amazon.com.
Results are here:

3. 29 July's generic kernel, in which every think works fine.
Results are here:

Why this problem doesn't happen to all websites and all network
connections?

My combinations is unique, who has a working old 34KB serial
modem that they use? Not many, its just I couldn't get any
of the winmodems working, and some guy who I bought an old
box from cheaply had a few of these modems laying around....
I should be getting wireless broadband soon.
