No VPN used. 1.0.0.703 x64

Another note to be noted....this is not even the link i am downloading. It is the first page when you open Webdownloader.

Sorry I cannot reproduce the issue.

May I ask where you are located.

I tried using VPN from a few countries (USA & Europe) and works OK.

Hi Ken

Let me check if I can reproduce it and I will write back.

I am hardwired and it does help.

The message I pasted recurs until it fills the message queue to 999 messages.  LOL

Hey Ken,

Its been doing that for awhile. Yes slower, I agree. I tried connecting through a wire not wireless and that did help a lot.     

Newest version has slowed down considerable....Like never before.

Each call to download a picture file is accompanied by these messages repeatedly:
