Brent & support staff,

I installed DS a few days ago and began to download from a site without a problem. I stopped that download after 110GB and attempted to download from other sites. I didn't have a problem with the first site but now all other sites have major pauses in download bandwidth. It downloads a burst of 1,100KB then it goes back to 0KB for about 20 seconds and then it does another burst and continues the same cycle. I've tried several sites and all have the same problem.

I installed DS on another computer for further diagnosis and all sites download normally. The specs on both PCs surpass the recommendations (dual 3ghz processor, 4GB RAM, 1TB HD) so the problem is not resources.

My only conclusion is that the initial download was so big and it's causing DS to slow down for some reason.

I took the following steps hoping it would help but nothing has to this point:

1. I deleted the initial download job of 110GB
2. I deleted all references to this download in the categories section (i.e. video, music, site files)
3. I moved and renamed the original folder which the 110GB site was downloaded to

Am I on the right track with my conclusion? Is there a cache that can be cleared? What steps can be taken to have DS perform optimally?

I researched this in the FAQ, forum and Google yet have not found anything similar in nature so I am turning to you for help.

Thanks in advance.
