iTunes Store slower?

[stevieled]

has anyone else experienced that the iTunes 7 store is much slower in loading new pages as well as downloading content than it was in iTunes 6?

It took me 2 minutes to download a 4 minutes song today, and that is too long for what I was used to with iTunes 6.

Seems pretty much the same for me on the Canadian store...

Yes before i downloaded an episode of mythbusters at 675 kb/s now i'm downloading at anywhere between 2 and 50 kb/s and i have a 10mb pipe.

I downloaded an ipod nano update and i was downloading at .5 kb/s WTF

not got anyone on your network DL'ing from P2P or Bit torrent?

.5Kb on a 10mb pipe is either a fault or some jackass is stealing your connection

right now im downloading an episode of the office, and it is downloading at 5 kb/s on a cable internet connection...something is very wrong here...EDIT: 600 BITS/S WHAAT????


EDIT: it must have been something wrong with the store or my line yesterday, today i am downloading that same episode at around 5 Mb/s. Everything is good now.
