See my most recent thoughts on the matter near the end of this thread:

which also references this thread:

Change the usleep line and I'll bet it will work properly and probably with
a relatively low aggressiveness setting too. With the usleep mod,
mythweather works fine for me over a 56k dialup even while sharing the
bandwidth 50:50 with a FTP client.

I believe my fix is correct although it hasn't been applied. I just mod my
source myself if it ever changes.
