John, always a pleasure to hear from you. Reminds me of the ol' Direct-L
days...
I'm out of town the next few weeks so won't have much of a chance for
further testing, but your suggested 'stuff for reproduction' is a good idea.
I'll approach it from that perspective next time. During this last download,
however, I did go out to PC Pitstop and checked download speed (while the
player was still coming across). It registered me at a little over 300 KB/s.
After the player came across, I was out at SourceForge to grab XAMPP, and
that was hauling across at 600-800 KB/s. Pretty sweet. (Can you tell I'm
updating the laptop?)
Anyway, I know I am not dreaming this. There is definitely a problem with
the Adobe servers...
