Question FG download speed

I have been having trouble the last two days downloading models from the Fiddler's Green website. The speed I am receiving in download is as slow as molasses (which isn't normal for my computer). Anyone else having this type of problem?

Thanks for your help. Caveman.

Yep, I have noticed it loading the forum and the Accounts page. I haven't tried to download anything.

I've even been having occasional issues with the site itself not opening. I just figured he was making changes (which he did) to the homepage, but I haven't tried downloading

Yes, but I already was having some problems with my service provider so assumed that slow downloads were part of that problem. Thanks to you, I won't blame the providers for anything beyond their control.

Caveman,,,
After reading your post,,, I went to the F.G. site and tried to download
a model I have done before in just a few seconds.
It would not work.
So,,, I sent Scott Fyn an e-mail about the problem,,,
Hope he gets the bottle neck fixed and F.G. back
to running on full steam for everyone.
Best Regards,
Gary

Thanks to everyone for your comments. I should also have said that I do not normally have any trouble with download speed on the FG website. I hope Scott can check this out soon. I was looking forward to downloading the Dragon and Knights.

Just downloaded several files today, happy to report that the normal speed seems to be back. Whatever yesterday's difficulty may have been, the FG people really jumped on the problem.

I was having the same problem yesterday, but even with the slow speed, everything came through.
