I got the Omega Premium Suite downloaded in the meantime, but it took me 2 days of broken-up connections. Interestingly the filesize was reported as 36 MB, but the real filesize after the download was only 18.78 MB (exactly the value where the connection always broke up).

Ridiculously slow server connection in Life, the Universe and Everything Stardock Forums

Hi, everybody. I am a user from Germany and just bought ObjectDesktop online yesterday. Since then I am trying to install the software via Stardock Central, but it takes forever. The connection speed ist well below 10kb/sec for about 80% of the time, though I have a fast DSL connection with 6 MB Download and 512 KB Upload Speed. For example: WindowsBlinds5 took 72 minutes to install - that really su....! As almost all other sites download much faster (US sites, too), I wonder,
