Downloads are much zippier too. Sweet. Is the Netherlands spinward or anti-spinward from your location with respect to the earth's rotation? I think you are 'down spin' . How about from CNRI ? That might explain it: less friction on the electrons flowing spinward. Waiting for my Nobel Prize!

That's spinward from you, so unless you go pick it up, you'll never get it.
