Most , if not all servants Have an option to set the max bandwidth for uploads (files being sent from them) and they can also set the number of loads that can be simultanious be running. So if I have a 56Kb modem and let 1/2 the bandwidth be used, thats 26Kb and then I allow 3 to run togeather, each only gets 8Kb. Then if all 3 are being used it will tell your servant to "try later". Bottom line is that it will take a 1MB (Meg Byte) 8,000 sec or 133 Mins to xfer at 8Kb. ( this was added after the next few posts)

At least that is what I think is going on!

Just had another thought. Try FURI, it lets you search for other "canidates" that have the same file name and file size, then check out the "Make Current" option. If one is running slow you could try another without losing any ground on the load! COOl .
