What do you mean by 'I am not a member again'?

I think there is something like an 8kb/s restriction on non-members but you are clearly logged in [or were when you posted this message].

EDIT] Didn't see the bit that said LIKE I am not a member again.

Are you running anything else, namely P2P software [KaZaA, BitTorrent Clients, e.t.c.] that would be using a large proportion of your downstream bandwidth?

I've noticed that the downloads seem slower recently. Still acceptable, but not "instant" as they used to be. I'm on a 100Mb line in the office, so I put it down to bandwdith contraints at the server end...

wow 1gig just shows what i know lol. and at $215 a month i think id give it a miss but wonder how long it would take to d/l films, probably if you got 1gb d/l speeds would take 4.7 secs:eek: for a full dvd.

Just an example of how slow they were. I think they were 13mb a second then, but normally downloads take me 30 seconds. I had to wait 3 or 4 minutes, which is how long non members normally take downloading.

Yep it's in China - and has a massive non-chinese population.. We should never have given it back.. They treat the locals who aren't Chinese like rubbish apparently.. :(
