it's probably just that your server is busy. That'll happen once in a while, just gotta get used to it.

I was getting slow speeds here on the site yesterday so if you were dling from here it was the server lagging. Every other site I visited was doing ok.

Hmm, I've run into this problem before and it ended up being that I had a virus infection. The virus itself was basically harmless but one of its main functions was stealing my bandwidth and using it to download things to the perpetrator's computer.

Just a possibility.
