trap_jaw,

Hmm... I'll grant you I may be deceived about the download speed by the UI. So perhaps you are right that the small chunk size will eventually be a good thing overall. But for the moment, it is a serious hindrance since it doesn't maintain a steady connection -- it downloads 97.7k and then disconnects, leaving your download aborted practically as soon as it had began Yes, it tries to reconnect but 99% that doesn't happen. So while this feature may be good for the network overall, it's terrible for the end users who are stuck with it (at least until the problems with the implementation is resolved).
