I've managed 48% in 5 minutes which is pretty standard for me. Internet connection overall is rubbish today though - anyone would think all the IT boffins are sitting at home eating turkey rissoles or something...

I've seen people selling iPhones where their name was etched into it by the gift giver. People like that deserve coal in their stocking. |

Nice.

P.S - After a false start, my River Song 2 download has completed. Woo hoo! Seasons greetings to all...

They probably gave themselves minimal budget for other peoples gifts, and decided to lavish themselves with something expensive for the holidays, like a new phone. Can we add that to the list of people who go to the Special Hell? They can talk at the theatre to their heart's delight there. |

Well, I was somewhat surprised to see that one show up for D/L when it did.
But I was subsequently NOT surprised when the download speed was one of the slowest I've encountered in a couple of years now.

There are so many different factors that could account for slow d/l speed. If I download from home it is normally about a ten minute download for a box set, from work about 2 to 5. I downloaded River from my parents and it took over an hour. The cable connection they have is pretty bad, partly due to old lines in the area where they live needing to be replaced. They also have a crap router which has a tendency to lose connection and lockout wifi on a whim.

The lady sitting next to me at the cinema on Christmas Eve inexplicably decided to spend the whole of the film's finale searching in her giant handbag for sweets wrapped in excessively crackly plastic. In the end she had to turn her phone on to use as a torch to find them... 
It's at times like this, even the slowest of downloads brings me happiness - there are no crackly sweets in Chriss Corkscrew's abode.

Not a clue... I never get above 300kbs on my own computer, but seem to get 1mbs on my wife's laptop, even though we both have 1mbs bandwidth available.
