A late postscript to this thread: I recently purchased CMBS. Straight away ran into Rudel's problem: I have a 50Mbs fiber optic and the download was going to take anywhere from 20 hrs to 1 day. I actually let it run for 20 minutes to see if it improved, but after this time I had 100Mb, at speeds between 40-120 Kbps. Unacceptable, certainly. I live in Thailand and I've concluded that there is a US bias to the BF dl server. I must thank roadiemullett because he's spot on. I fired up Hola in Chrome, pointed it to a US VPN and presto, dl speed went up to 1.5-2.5 Mbps and the files were had in 30-40 minutes. So, to other non-US resident BF members, set the Hola Better Internet app in Chrome, browsing from USA.
