Anyone know why downloading from iTunes store is always slow ...?

Even in peak times, is slow,,, but slower than slow...

What i mean is 100k to 500k at any time of the day over a fairly fast connection (8Mbps) DSL, and only downloading one file, not doing any simultaneous downloading.

at times download just stops, and resuming does nothing..... Its probably content, because a few can not start, or even when they start they may never complete download, while others have no problem at max speed.

This is all done in the same period... (peak time or otherwise)

Logging out and back into itunes store may not always help either, and either turning off and on iCloud Music library.

When doing speed test, I get max speed, and its only iTunes and occasionally Apple updates affected by this as well.
