I'm pretty sure I still have a Total Access account, but lately my GS downloads have been in the 150-200kbps range, they used to be much quicker. Any idea why this might be happening? Downloads from other sites are still the same (it's not a bandwidth issue on my end).

I don't do a lot of big downloads from GS, but I've noticed they usually occur at one of two speeds - either around 150k, or a notably higher speed that is probably as fast as my ISP allows. And this is on large enough downloads that the average becomes fairly clear - smaller downloads are done before they average out. Anyway, I'm not sure what's up with the two different speeds. I'd have to do more tests to see if there's a pattern.

I've noticed that too gmax (flaminio maphia reference?). Any confirmation from people with some technical knowledge of the guts of the site, though?

It's cool GS, no need to provide customer support.
