Good morning (or whatever),

is it just me or is the client download even slower than usual? I'm trying to dl the Mac version of the RC2 client (73 MB) and it seems I will have to wait 2-3 hours for the download to complete. I get dl rates of around 7 kB/s.....sitting on a DSL 3072 line this is like a flash from the past! And yes, the connection is ok, I get download rates of about 300 kB/s from other sites. Am I the only one with this problem?

Well, I just tried downloading that exact client. Download speed averaged 6.5Mbps, and I got the whole file in under two minutes.

(Just about utilizing a quarter of my 24Mbps connection, but still downloaded very quickly.)

I sometimes get this on my Mac too, usually I just go back a bit later and it downloads much quicker, no more than 15 minutes on average
