Itunes store incredibly slow recently, just me?

[evilking]

It's awful. Navigating each page takes 2-3 minutes to load and they never load 100 percent the first time, so 5 minutes average per page. Can't use my own DNS since my ISP craps bricks when I change anything from default. I cleared my cache and "repaired" my connection, no joy. I'd email apple but they'd just tell me to use the UK store, cause that's where I am. I would if there was anything worth purchasing on the UK site, and if I was rich and patient enough to wait an unknown amount of time for content to battle it's way across the pond with a 20-50 percent premium. Of course, an actual purchase maxes my connection at a smooth 10mb per second, so downloads finish in the blink of eye...

I hate you.

iTunes store is always very slow for me, as in it sometimes crashes iTunes on my Mac. Fortunately I only use it to subscribe to podcasts.

No, I meant downloads of TV shows. I rarely use iTunes for music.

It feels much faster on mac.

^ ya rite......maybe u arent considering the fact that browsing depends on network speed and not mac or windows

That really sucks. I tried to register an account in iTunes Store but the confirmation link didn't work. The error message "An Internal Server Error Has Occurred." keeps showing

Anyone has an unused iTunes acc? I need to download some free games there/

Ah. Well then, carry on. The CD police sees you are doing a fine job, citizen

Well take into account that Window iTunes sucks and is pretty laggy, whilst Mac iTunes isn't as laggy. I have slow internet (180kbps downloads) and my iTunes store is pretty quick, compared to the family PC (Vista), it's pretty slow. Odd.
