I'm probably not going to renew mine, either. I hate it - Rendo does have tons of really cool stuff in the marketplace - but like Art, I just don't have time for download speeds that are only marginally better than dial-up. The last couple things I bought took almost 45 minutes to download at an average of 75KB/sec.

Yes, I can download at work at 1 - 2 MB/sec - but with my job, I rarely have time to do anything on line, and I shouldn't be doing it at work anyway. I SHOULD be able to do it at home.

All I know is:

1. This issue started nearly 2 months ago, after the latest round of "improvements" to the site.

2. I can download from any other website @ anywhere from 1 - 3 MB/sec. at home or at work, or at a WiFi hotspot.

3. I can download Rendo's free content at 1 - 3 MB/sec. at home or at work, or at a WiFi hotspot. Marketplace purchases do well to break 100 KB/sec. But only at home.

4. This is consistant with 3 different computers, and 3 different browsers. Re-booting computers and/or network/router/modem has no effect on the issue.

5. No one seems to have a clue as to why this is the ONLY website experiencing this issue.

I will purchase here occasionally, but will not renew my Prime membership at this time. If, at some point, this issue gets cleared up, and I am able to consistantly download at the 1 - 3 MB/sec speeds I was able to for 3 years prior to this issue popping up, then, and only then, I will consider reinstating my Prime membership.
