Has anyone else had problems trying to upload to CareLink recently?

I tried this morning - it finally uploaded the data and added it to the database after the fourth try. (Okay, the first one was my fault because I wandered away from the computer).

However, in all cases, the upload took more than 5 minutes before in gave up or completed. After loading a few percent of the pump's data, it seemed to sit on that same percent for a while before continuing.

The pump was close to the CareLink USB device. Between the second and third attempts, I replaced the battery in the pump.

I've noticed this slowness for a while now; this is the first time I had the pump fail to complete the upload though.

I've found it super slow since my first upload. And it usually aborts somewhere in the middle of it about 1 in 3 times for me. It's not the greatest system IMHO. But a lot of that is for other reasons.

I've always found it to be slow. At least 1/3 of the time I have to try more than once before the upload takes. Usually it craps out after it reaches 100% and says it's sending information.
