Max, it was like when they put bryce 6 and something else on the market. I know my broadband connection isn't the fastest in the world but at that time i was getting a xfer rate of 12.3KB/sec from a 1500KB/sec(1.5MB/sec) connection. So i held of for 3 days and then got the download in at a much quicker xfer rate.
Its server overload which will cause this...everyone grabbing the downloads at the same time

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
