Yes;
As a short work around setting #define TCP_RTO_MAX	((unsigned)(120*HZ)) to
#define TCP_RTO_MAX	((unsigned)(60*HZ)) in include/net/tcp.h does
help, but the problem is still there.
After testing this setting out for a few days, I decided to revert it
back, so I don't mess my tcp packets up, and feel like an internet hog
