Title: Commercial download site too slow ?
Post by: Ioannis Ioannou on 2012 June 17 00:31:52: Hello,

I tried yesterday and today to download the Linux 64bit version and takes forever (and times out afte ra while).
I tried 5-6 times since yesterday afternoon.
I do not have a bandwith issue from my side, it should be on the download server.
Is it something temporary or is there an alternative way ?

Right now I'm at 50% and waiting, so I'll give it a try. Not to mention that I do not have such problem with any other site - tested. Maybe something temporary in the route between me and Inmotion Hosting. Oooops, as I typed these lines it jumped from 50% to 70%, so most probably I'll succeed this time.

Again a bit slow but at least not bursting and with timeout.
Maybe there was some maintenance running at the hosting network during weekend.
