Hmm. I seem to be getting between 3 and 20 KB/sec. It managed to 
download 6 sheep in fairly short order, but I'm getting really bored of 
watching the same 6 animations endlessly repeating now. A few sheep seem 
to be quite excellent, and the majority are unspeakably lame. (This is 
based on a sample of 6 though, so perhaps unrepresentative?)

A sheep... pack...

LOL! That's wrong on so many levels! :-)
