LW 4.2.6 was a signaling version, meaning that all users using LW version between 3.8-4.0 were prompted to upgrade. This mean LOTS of downloads and bandwidth. LW.com cannot substain that kind of bandwidth so they used the filefront.com system to serve the downloads. Normally they used dl.com only to count the # of downloads, but the downloads themselves were coming from lw servers. Once the number of downloads decrease, they should return to dl.com (I believe). In fact, last week 1 000 000 persons downloaded the windows version of LW, a record.
