No, I don't think it's that. I just downloaded Codie's Magma Dragoon WMA and it started right away. Then I went to Red Clawbot's site and downloaded a couple of mp3's there, and they all downloaded right away. I clicked on my "Young Nobleman of Sadness" mp3 and it took a really long time before it started to download (before it shows the pop-up message "Save" "Play" "Cancel"). There's something going on at Dreamhost.

I sailed on the wings of time to be with you
I followed this dream of mine
And I'll see it through
It was a dream and a promise that I intend to keep
Right here within my soul so deep
