1st, what little I KNOW as infrequent DL, then the other stuff.

East coast usa, broadband, 2/24 late EST, in this range [124. 140.] So agrees w/ buttsie also. This much we know for the "civilized" world.

It is not speculation to say host servers are the parameter. I was almost intimidated by warning of x0x0 minutes, etc. if I did not buy "Gold." What I do see is the wait time for next one as function of what the slow time was supposed to be. For short clips not too bad. Selling gold is their business.

IF host servers are the parameter, & IF up-loaders give a hoot. then

I see a grid of par times for a few popular regions that UL's could consult.
Asterisks, etc. as required. You can't cover Antartica & Equitorial Guinea, etc..

Who am I to intrude in debate between sages? Bad habit of mine.

Anyway, good to see something from DL POV, not common.
