Okay, thanks, at least I can be pretty sure now that it's not my pc. And yep I'm in Europe, so that possible creats another part of the problem - usually downloads work fairly fast for me though, it's just that this was the first time I ever tried uploading and I was surprised to have it time out on me.

It's a great place for finding things, that's for sure - I enjoy having different freebie creators with their own little corner - if I like something from someone I can see what else they have, etc.

I sure hope the people who started it will do what they can to keep it from floundering. Ir's a good concept, but they are going to have to expect to invest much, if not most of their advertising revenues into stabilizing bandwidth, at least in the beginning.

Anyway, I do thank you again for responding, :)
