Trouble Downloading MIX11 Slides

[Verizon Hopeful]

Is it just me or has anyone else had difficulty downloading content from the MIX11 site on Microsoft's Channel9 MIX11 | Channel 9 ? I have tried on several occasions to download the slides from the data session "New Data Access Features Coming to Windows Phone" but have always failed. It seems like there is simply not enough bandwidth to obtain content.

I hate to think the worst but why on Earth would Microsoft put content on a site that couldn't handle the expected amount of downloads? Of course, I really don't know why downloads from that site fail, but it is almost as if there is the illusion and not the reality of content being available.

Thoughts anyone??

Well after 20 or so tries, I was finally able to download the slides from the presentation. I feel sorry for anyone who thinks they will easily download the video files from these presentations. I only wanted the slides!
