Dubster's Peel tapes blog returns

[pat183us]

Me too Neil.
It's been like it for about the last 3 weeks.
Tells you to wait anything upwards of 45 minutes for a download and 
then when it does reach the download screen tells you that you have 
downloaded xxxxxxkbs in the last hour which is of course impossible 
as you've been sitting there waiting for your download to become 
available!
I think they may have changed the way they look at downloaders, I 
have a BT Broadband account and I suspect they're viewing all BT 
Broadband downloaders as one person - something to do with proxy 
servers maybe?
Anyway I wrote to The Perfumed Garden guy to ask him if people were 
reporting the same problems to him but he hasn't replied yet.
I think for the time being people should use flurl, megaload or some 
of the other free upload sites.

Pat.
