Amnesia10, Linux_User, do you have stuff like Ping turned on? I too find that when I do get the odd slowdown it's because it's trying to connect to the store.

Roll on Apple's new super mega data centre - hopefully it'll have broadband rather than sharing its dial-up with Dennis Publishing ;)

I am having issues with the OSX firewall refusing to go into stealth mode. So it responds to pings.

Well, in that case you have had a pretty fine life.

I wish the worst mistake of my life was less than perfect mp3 player.

Can I just ask, and I'm not trolling here, why Windows users regularly slam iTunes?

I am a Mac user, and I have no problems with it at all on the Mac. I also use it daily on Windows, without any issues. I'm always plugging new iPods into it on Windows to set them up, and it never gives me any trouble.

What problems do Windows users have with it? I'm genuinely interested.

*edit* having just read cloaked_wolf's post properly, I've got a better idea!

I've never had any real problems in the last couple of years with iTunes, but it used to be a pile of poo. The lastest versions are still bloated, but they have been stable and have worked fine with my iPhone - although I am syncing the iPhone with my iMac again now; the Windows Phone 7 phone is synced with Zune (which is a much better player for Windows than iTunes).
