Any input as to why you're actively throttling connections to 30 KB/sec on the server lately?

I've tested this and a single connection will only load at 30 KB/sec and making multiple connections at the same time with a download manager, for a large 5mb picture, results in up to 400 KB/sec.

Awesome site and i've contributed several pictures to it in the past, but What gives? Why throttle us?

We are not actively throttling connections. There is an issue with our provider's upstream backbone, Tiscali, that we have been unable to pinpoint.

However, if you'd like, I will personally see to throttling your connection if you want to keep making such irritating assumptions.
