It's A Digital Disease!

HI all,

Is it just me or is the download speed at the Internet Archive continuing to be abysmal? I'm often getting speed of like 50 kb/s and I have roughly a 100 MB/s connection according to speedtest. Been using the IA command line utility for downloading of entire collections. Sometimes the speed will end up around 11 MB/s which is about the fastest it can download, but right now it's glacially slow at the aforementioned 50 kb/s which makes downloading ANYTHING a chore you end up waiting hours to finish. Is there any way I can improve the download speed or am I just stuck with it being dial-up level slow?
