And I thought I was the only one having this problem. It is really annoying. Mine goes something like 0k-1k blink a few times and will get back to zero in no time. After going through the same motion for some hour or so, total amount of data build up is around 3-4%.

I did not encounter such problem before.Once the connection is successful, the download will just proceed accordingly. Nowadays it is different.Sometimes on successful connection, the word downloading is displayed without any further progress. The Ok bytes just stays idle. However at times, I do get a speed of 20k-25k like this morning for certain songs only.
In the afternoon, it is the same old problem 0k-1k.

Something is wrong somewhere. I have this question. Being a layman, I wonder whether there is any improvement if I download again the Basic from some other countries other than United States. Wonder whether it would help. The language may be foreign initially as I remember it is possible to change language in the menu . My question is whether it will speed things up.

Can anyone please advise.
