Why is Smart slow

I realise this isn't specifically a Suse question but it has been discussed a
lot on here. When I first tried the Smart Package Manager I was fairly
impressed especially when used with Suse 10.1 which seemed to struggle so
much with Zen. It's search facility isn't as nice as YaST's but for
downloading patches it's quite handy.
However I've noticed that with the current version the download speeds are
fantastically slow often dropping to only a few bytes/second even if it's
only downloading a single RPM. This can be especially frustrating when
patching a newly built machine where there is a lot of updates to download.
Yet if I was to wget the same package from the same location from the same
machine at the same time I'll get several hundred + KB/s.
There doesn't seem to be options for throttling the download speed, it didn't
use to be this slow, anyone having the same problem?
Cheers
Matthew
