DDF is still giving about 10 genuinely new updates (pics & video) each week throughout their network. Bandwidth is always an issue for all sites, but just keep in mind that this is not something the owners can just "flip a switch" and speeds are faster. Bandwidth is not an infinite resource, it is something that is shared amongst many people at a time. And despite what everyone likes to claim, bandwidth is not *that* cheap, nor are the servers which are required to keep the pipe full. We're not talking the 10mbps cable internet connections, DDF has at least a 10gbps connection, probably much faster than that. But divide it out amongst the popularity of the site. Many other factors too, like DDF is a popular target of hackers who constantly bombard their servers trying to sniff out usable password combinations. It all takes their toll on the performance of their equipment.
They are trying to provide the best connection to everyone, but their are some limits that are not so easily controlled.

His issue is likely something through an ISP somewhere along the way. I had no download issues with this site, and that was when they first announced their network special, so I am sure they pretty busy then.

I'm a big DDF fan and their content soars over most other sites.
That said, I've had very erratic D/L experience since December with, maybe, 75% of the D/L's flying warp speed and the other 25% crawling at the indicated 15-20 kbs. And the times when the slow speeds happen are not consistent at all.
I agree that it's probably a result of a combination of available bandwidth and server issues but what I really don't understand is why it's only DDF that has this huge difference in speeds when other sites, while they have some variations, are much more consistent.
