Always in motion the future is..

I've been trying to get the last video posted in the video forum about IPV6 but for some reason, its going dawg slow.  0-20KB/sec.  I can go to other sites (www.kernel.org) and download a kernel at 300KB/sec or faster. 

I'm not really "internet" techie enuf to figure out where the problem is.. but I'm assuming its between my computer and the routing towards downloads.microsoft.com.  Restarting the downloads sometimes gets a different IP, so each IP pretty much is the same speed.  Anyone else get these kind of results or am I going wacko? Smiley hehe

I've been getting poor speeds to the US (from the UK) for a number of weeks now.

Had to watch the IPv6 video at 126kbps.

I've been trying different sites lately.. they all check out fine.. (non-MS sites)..  I decided to try the streaming full screen link (mms://) in the video forum.  I get nice speeds from that.. but anything downloads.microsoft.com is like pushing a car without its wheels on.

On a scale of 1 to 10, people are stupid.
Same here.  Took me about 24 hours to download the 2005 developer edition of SQL.

Cylons.. Why debugging matters

It may be due to the Zune marketplace. I managed to connect to Zune MP for about 3min then it prompted me to log in again to see my trial download.

Since then I get the same error.

Must be all the msdn & volume subscribers pulling down Office.

Oh and apparently Vista is on the volume sites as well.
