Hi all, apologies if this has been posted before, I searched for "Mavericks network hang" and didn't get anything suitable back.
I have an Early 2013 13" rMBP that I upgraded to 10.9.1 yesterday from 10.8.5.
After checking that Ableton Live Suite and all my plugins worked ok, I thought everything had gone smoothly.
Until I tried to download the remaining audio packs.
It seems a larger download ( > 500 MB ) will get so far then suddenly hang. I've tried this with Firefox and Safari and both Ableton Live audio packs and Linux ISO images; all manifest the same behaviour: get so far then suddenly stop, so it's not a particular file or site.
Once the browser has hit this point there is no more browsing to be done. It just sits there saying connecting to <insert name of arbitrary site here> with a spinning loading wheel (FF) or slowly progressing loading bar (Safari) until they time out. Activity monitor shows the transfer drop from 12 MB/s to a few KB/s.
Infuriatingly the only means of resolution is a reboot.
I have read about a new "feature" which does some arp validation and is known to throw up regular false positives which cause issues but why that should cause anything more than that TCP connection to lock - as opposed to locking the entire stack is beyond me, plus I'm not yet convinced that that is the problem here as I'm connecting through my home router (Virgin Media Superhub) and not a double redundant gateway (which is what causes the arp validation to fail).
Anyone else having this issue? I can't believe I'm the only one who is constantly getting these failures in Mavericks
