Commercial download site too slow ?

[Ioannis Ioannou]

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 ?

strange, i downloaded the 32-bit osx version yesterday with no problems, and it maxed out my connection (16mbit/sec)

I do not know  I'm trying again and works with bursts. It downloads with 15mbps for a few seconds and stops for 1-2 minutes. 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.

After many failed attempts, today I managed to download it.
Again a bit slow but at least not bursting and with timeout.
Maybe there was some maintenance running at the hosting network during weekend.

Bumping this because I am also getting awful slow downloads (38KBps) trying to download PI. Like I'm back in the 90's on modems.
