Download is stalled for several minutes

[Uphaar Agrawalla]

The download seems to be stuck/stalled for a few minutes (>5 minutes) after clicking on checkout. I tried testing this with the free downloads available from 7digital. At this stage the status indicates "Transferring to your Ubuntu One storage".
After a while, suddenly the progress bar starts and completes.

So when the status is "Transferring to your Ubuntu One storage":
1. Either the download is stalled or
2. It is really transferring content to my Ubuntu One account - in which case:
a. There should be a progress bar indicating the transfer
b. This is really slow, given when the download progress bar does appear (and download starts) it only takes a few seconds to complete.

A similar thing has happened to me, where 9 of the 14 tracks of an album have downloaded (and were visible on one.ubuntu.com with the same modified time), but the other 5 have not started to transfer.

Andrew, the original bug is about downloads not starting for a little while. Your issue is that (some) downloads have not started at all, and I'd like to track those two problems separately. Can you file a new bug so I don't lose track? Thanks!

Uphaar: part of what we're doing with the beta is assessing how much simultaneous download capacity we need to make sure that people get their purchased songs as soon as possible, and we're still working that out, which is why this took a little longer than you might have expected.

Confirmed....it NEVER downloads on my system at all. I had it open for HOURS.

gorkon: I think your (and Andrew's) problem is different as Stuart already mentioned. For me the download is stalled for several minutes but it always happens and completes successfully. Please open another bug for your problem.
