Downloads.com has developed some kind of grudge against me recently too, as a single connection will usually yield 18k max from them, there are many other reputable file servers I could mention too.

Yet I know there is nothing wrong with my connection, Usenet will still blaze away at full speeds, even the dreaded "T-word" runs proverbial rings around these things.

So are they getting slower, or do they just not like me..
i think recently the mirrors are not the problem but Virgin Media messing about with the technology that provides your connection to the world...what with the upgrades that have been going on around the country
