QGIS and Download run on top of different physical hardware, so I doubt
that's the issue. I expect there's a higher load than previously on QGIS
from the new release.

First thing I can suggest and takes about 5 minutes, is to increase the
ram and add an additional virtual cpu. We have plenty of unallocated RAM
so I'd like to try this soon if there are now objections.

If we think there's a network issue I can file a ticket with OSUOSL to
look into that possible issue.

Another option is I can see if both Nics are hooked up on the physical
hardware and if not ask OSUOSL to setup both and split the VMs to bridge
across in away that splits the load.

Thanks,
Alex
