Hi Dark0ne, Thanks for responding personally to me; I don't want to go against what you say, but I doubt distance would have an impact that significant. TCP traffic will gradually build depending on packet loss, and other servers across EU/US/Asia for other unrelated media I use are fine with downloading significantly faster than 1.5MB/s. However, more than happy to support you (even though in hindsight I really can't afford to at the moment!), knowing you have no plans for an Australian server is fine. But I would like the opportunity to assist you figuring out why the content distribution servers are unable to serve content at more than 10% of my standard speed. I work for a large company, one of the largest consumers (and in most cases, it is the largest) of IT vendors in Australia as an infrastructure architect, dealing with situations like this on a weekly basis. Appreciate the offer for the 15 day refund, but I see no need. I was happy to support regardless of what little gain I received.

This isn't intended to be a whinge post, merely looking to see if there is something I am doing wrong? I just spent the $95 on lifetime premium, only to find my max speed from all 4 server locations is around 1,300 - 1,500 kb/s... I was getting 1,000 kb/s prior to upgrading. Is there something I should change somewhere to get a reasonable speed? My connection at home is 97Mbps down, located in Australia. Thanks!
