I don't know what it is with the Classical Shop Download Manager and my computer. I checked my download speed a couple of days ago (on one of those third-party sites) and it showed up as 173mbps. So. . . there shouldn't be a problem, even with the large file sizes. But of course all sorts of other factors enter into the discussion - I've long wondered whether the download manager's use of Adobe Air has something to do with it. None of the other download sites that I know of use this product. I haven't downloaded anything from The Classical Shop in a long time (probably over a year), so of course I needed a download manager update, and then an Adobe Air update, and then the download finally started. OTOH, it's not that big a deal - I can be doing other stuff in the meantime.
It's actually faster for me NOT to use their download manager, but, OTOH, using the download manager helps keep the tracks organized and, for some reason, keeps the meta information more consistent.
And of course, my most famous story with the Classical Shop download experience was when I downloaded Jarvi's Swan Lake: it took almost two full days (i.e., almost 48 hours) to complete the download. All the other sites I've dealt with are super fast compared to the trickle of data I usually get with Chandos and The Classical Shop. Still, it doesn't bother me that much since the resulting audio files are usually outstanding.
