Anybody else had no luck at all downloading with a dial-up connection today?

The level of venom I've seen expressed over this not-at-all-unexpected
development in various places today would be hilarious if it weren't so
depressing.  Honestly, people: $15 a month for 65 songs, or four to five
albums (more, if a lot of what you're downloading is those Atavistic
free-improv things that have two 20-minute songs, like me)?  Bargain,
people, bargain.  That's less than one-fourth the per-song charge from
iTunes, and eMusic has a better selection of labels.  Yes, it sucks that we
can't be pigs at the trough anymore, but looking at the pouty things I've
been seeing (not here on Audities, mind) today, I'm reminded that far too
many people in the world today need to make a note in their day planners to
Grow The Fuck Up Already.
