Truncated downloads with NAT --> fixed in SVN

Reported by: karl.forner Assigned to:
Priority: major Component: network/NAT
Version: VirtualBox 2.1.2 Keywords:
Cc: Guest type: Linux
Host type: Windows

Description (Last modified by frank)

In short: downloads are truncated...

Example: 

ftp_proxy=http://proxy.xxxxx.com:8080/ wget ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/MIRRORED.BY
15:04:14 (76.64 KB/s) - Connection closed at byte 113699. Retrying.

Same kind of command: 

ftp_proxy=http://proxy.xxxx.com:80 lwp-mirror ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/MIRRORED.BY toto
Transfer truncated: only 116617 out of 128142 bytes received
  • This runs just fine in virtualbox 2.0.2
  • same problem using http url: http_proxy=http://proxy.xxxx:8080/ wget ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/MIRRORED.BY
  • same problem on a friends's computer running virtualbox 2.1.2
  • no problem on another friend's computer running virtualbox 2.0.2
  • I tried changing the network config of virtualbox without any result

I tried to test the 2.1.0 version but could not install and make it run anymore....

The consequence of this is that "cpan" software to install perl packages is no more usable...

HOST=windows xp sp3 GUEST=ubuntu 8.04

And what is the destination of folder of this operation? Probably a shared folder?

2009-02-02 17:22:22 changed by karl.forner

no, the destination folder is a local folder. And as I said, this runs perfectly fine with the same image (vdi) and virtualbox 2.0.2.

HOST : Windows 2003 Server, ftp-server SlimFTPd, NTFS

GUEST: Linux (LFS 6.4), ftp-client mc-4.6.1 or wget, without shared folders, with or without guest additions, disk - SATA 0, ext3

VBOX : v2.1.0 or v2.1.6

Transfer from HOST to GUEST via NAT-ftp: received_file_size < real_file_size ( random difference ~ 1-2%)

Transfer from HOST to GUEST via Host_interface-ftp: received_file_size = real_file_size

(VBOX v2.0.6 and early - without this problem)

I have the same Problem. Host Windows XP, Guest Debian Lenny, Virtualbox 2.1.0 NAT Mode

APT or Eclipse updates (http) are almost impossible like this.

I've also done this testcase: 

ftp_proxy=http://x.x.x.x:8080/ wget ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/MIRRORED.BY"

and got the following results (see attached files):

  • wireshark_log.wshark: is logged on the guest, proxy ip: 172.20.48.9, host ip: 172.20.55.132
  • wget.txt: transcript of wget output logged on the guest.

Downgraded to VirtualBox 2.0.4 and everything works again.

VBox 2.1.3 can't start VM with host interface

2009-02-06 09:17:20 changed by sordes

HOST : Windows 2003 Server, ftp-server SlimFTPd, NTFS
GUEST: Linux (LFS 6.4), without shared folders, with or without guest additions, disk - SATA 0, ext3
VBOX : VirtualBox-2.1.3-42438-Win_x86.msi

Transfer from HOST to GUEST via NAT-ftp: received_file_size == real_file_size, MD5 sums check passed,
but if file_size > 8760 bytes (hex: 2238), then

wget 1.10.2, wget 1.11.4 (Slax LiveCD 6.0.9) - stalled, till timeout
mc-4.6.3, mc-4.6.1 (Slax LiveCD 6.0.9) - stalled (Skip, Abort, Ctrl-C not work), only kill helps
ftp GNU inetutils 1.5 - stalled, Ctrl-C can stop

VirtualBox-2.1.3-42438-Win_x86 can't run any VM with host interface.
See log in attachment VBox-2.1.3.hostif-error.log.gz

Replying to sordes: re inability to use host interface, this is a known issue. We already have a fix for it, and should be able to post the test build with the fix soon.

Replying to sordes re inability to use host interface: I can share you a test build containing a fix. Please send me a mail at Mikhail dot Sennikovsky at sun dot com if you are willing to test it. I'll then send you a link to a new test version containing a fox.

HOSTIF: OK

I have the same problem with OpenSolaris? guest, so this may be not Linux-specifc

Virtualbox 2.1.0, NAT (could not test host interface due to unavailability of LAN) Host Windows XP, apache ftp server 1.0.0-M3 Guest OpenSolaris? 2008.11, clients tested: wget, ftp and Firefox file StudioExpress?-sol-x86-2008-11-ii.sh (186 176 469 bytes), gets truncated by 3-10K (randomly).

This effect does NOT occur with http download (server MS IIS, client firefox).
