Uhhhh.....no. That's just you. I routinely get several hundred successful downloads per week from it. I've only been using it a very few months, and have gotten from it enough to at least fill a 120gb drive, with lots of other shit stashed off on other various drives on my other machine and some of it burned off to DVD-R. If you don't like it and choose not to use it, that's fine. But you're totally mischaracterizing it.
