Hi Angie,

I'm glad you got it sorted.

There is an option to set the download speed from the default.  Via the
command line it's `--max-rate'  I'm sure if you poke around the GUI, you can
find similar.

The rate is specified in bytes per second.  Some people may find it a bit
different because they might be accustomed to _bits_ per second.  As in 5
Megabits per second.  You can quickly do some conversion (using a spreadsheet)
to translate from whatever unit of measure you're comfortable with, back to
`bytes per second'

And thank you for the well wishes ... I hope you also have a good weekend! 
:)

Cheers,
