Is anyone else's running slooowwwwlllyyy?

[ZULU]

I am also having huge problems with Virginmedia speeds!

My d/l of The Horizon Guide-Moon was apparently compromised by it taking too 
long.

Now, I want to re-download it, but I cannot find the *.swfinfo* file to 
dump.
There is no such file on this computer!!

Now what?
