There was also a large contest last weekend that caused a lot of uploads 
and slowed things down as well.

All that aside, we've become a slave to "I want it NOW" and our 
expectations are that our uploads with be immediate. Sometimes we just 
have to take a breath, have a cup of coffee (or your preferred 
beverage), get in line, and let things run their course. It is still 
light years ahead of "how it used to be".

p.s. by the way, just in case you're wondering, I'm not one bit 
patient.........I WANT IT NOW!!!!!  :-)))
