Loads fine here, not having any problems.
Sometimes your DNS might be a bit funny, or something is funny on your
ISP, unless its completely broken I shouldn't worry about it.

It's suddenly speeded up again here too :-) It has been doing this
for a day or two to be honest so it could be a DNS problem. I know
at least one Plus Net DNS server is bad.

You on plus net too Kev?
I get some strange things here. Tried twice to d'load a distro the
other day, each time it got to 500MB the rate dropped to 20kB/sec then
failed. Kris got it for me but then threw the CD away so I never did
get to try it!

star downloader - download in chunks of whatever size you want, and
it's freeware... for the windows though

GET OUT!!!! Andy ;-) *please note the grin*
Actually, I used to have exactly that happen, Stuart. It was always
with Opera though. I haven't seen any downloads do it for a long time
now. The thing with Yahoo was that the page would start to load but
then it looked awful. If I tried it with Opera (Windows or Linux) it
loaded smoothly. Only Yahoo too not Google. Very odd....

Though that is a sound suggestion, Jonothon, I must point out that
some broadband providers choke bittorrent traffic, additionally.. it
can sometimes be a slow process when there aren't many peers seeding
the content to you. I would recommend a Firefox plugin called
DownThemAll, a free and OSS download manager that integrates
seamlessly with Firefox.
Though don't just dismiss Bittorrent.
