Since DLC was first released on the Wii in January, I've had no trouble at all downloading songs, as they all were on my SD card within a minute after I purchased them. But since this weekend, downloading has been terribly slow, taking upwards of five minutes for just one song. They purchase at the same speed and go to my SD card very fast, but for some reason downloading has become an inconvenience. I don't know if it's a problem on my side or the RB server's side, but I'm thinking it's me because other Wii users would have brought it up already. Can anyone help?

You're not downloading DLC from RB's servers. You're downloading it from Nintendo's servers. Is downloading anything else on your Wii slow too?

Oh yeah that's right. Interestingly I found that some songs work fine while others are really slow. For example, all the Nirvana songs I bought went really fast, whereas as all three Locksley songs took FOREVER. I'm wondering if it's something wrong with the more recent releases.

It took me 15 minutes to download a song from the Chinese Democracy album and I bought 11 of the songs so can you imagine how long that took?

2 hours and 45 minutes by my math. :)
