Hi all! :)

It’s not a secret that GOG.com, the platform and community gathered around it, is growing at an exceptional rate all around the world. We keep that in mind as we look for ways to improve our service for everyone. Obviously, one of the most important functions for all of you is downloading your purchases - preferably as fast and as reliably as possible.

For some of you this might sound familiar (yep it’s our 3rd time!), once again we are in the process of benchmarking various download locations, and trying to get the most representative sample of worldwide results. That means as many unique ISPs / cities / countries as possible, and we need a little help from you! :) Below you will find a simple test that requires just one click and won't take more than 2 minutes of your time to complete:
http://www.gog.com/2015_cdn_test

Your help is greatly appreciated here! Of course you can run the test as many times as possible (preferably at different locations and different times of day). Oh, and keep in mind that we used a little bit of Flash in this test, so if you want to participate please make sure you have the flash player installed and/or your are not using any flash blocking plugins in your browser.

Good God, I actually remember "Pretty Mary Sunlight" from that show! In my memory, though, the singer's voice sounded a bit more like Gordon Lightfoot or Jim Croce...that singer just sounds sped up and awful.

There were two versions of Pretty Mary Sunlight, one by Austin Roberts, which is the one in the youtube link, and one by Jerry Reed, who performed the song as a "guest" on one of the "New Scooby Doo Movies". See if this is more what you were expecting...

Nope. When you said "Jerry Reed", I instantly remembered seeing him guest-star on some episode, but I have no particular recollection of that version of the song. (And GAWD was that last clip awful! XD ) I think it was just a case of my memory making a song sound (somewhat) better than it ever actually had.

EDIT: Tested once more before bed, just for shoots and googles. :D
