Anyone else having problems with Filefront/planetmirror?

I was just downloading a small (60mb) file from filefront, started at 3:56pm and just as we hit 4pm, the speed went down from 100kbps (full speed for a unregistered user) suddenly down to barely 4kbps!  I doubt it was really even that, it appeared to stop completely.
I have tried it on 2 computers, both have the same problem.
Am I screwed until 12am now?
If anyone would like to try for themselves, thgis is the file I want :-

Re: Filefront throttled to 1-3Kbps at 4pm?

I've just had a look at this to see if I could find a reason from our side. However your account is on the right profile, there are no erroneous rate limits being applied and you aren't on management. So you should be getting the highest speed the server can give you.
Based on this I tested from our internal network (which gives a near 30Mb result on speedtests) and was getting 15.9kB download speed. It could well be the server under load causing these speeds, because I'd expect more than that from here.
