Speed's great compared to other sites. The movie downloads are also pretty fast.... but would be faster for me if you allowed multipart downloads.

Hi Kevin,

I don't know which OS or connection you use... but if you use XP and have upgraded with this patch from april the 16. then that might be the problem... info about the patch here

a lot have complained about this patch made their system slow and other things... Microsoft are working on a better patch as far as I have understood... I read it in an article fron af danish IT news thing... user added image

you can also test you connection here to see if you can get some usefull info about it... "Internet Connection Center"... -->

I find this site to be very fast, but I beleive it's due to the geographic location, just as much as my connection speed.

When I'm on this site, most of you people are at work, or doing something other than browsing this site or other sites on the server it runs from...

When I drop by in the morning or about lunch.. It's a bit slow, cause then all you US ppl just finished dinner, and are sitting in front of your computers and making the entire internet go slooow.
