Manage Photos Is The New Download? Very Slow?

Hi Tim .. ever since I upgraded my Sytist, I now find that if I need to download photos from a single order ( to print for eg ), that the old "download photos" that I used to use now comes out with a watermark on it?  Why would you need to download images with a watermark ( genuine question? ).  So I have found the new way to extra purchased images is via "manage photos" and by gosh, the zips are taking forever now, and i'm talking on a small order of say, 4 5x7" prints, or one single 8x10 .. my files are only around 2mb but I didnt have this problem before upgrading.

Any advice?  I'd love to use the "download all orders for this gallery" feature but it always says I have too many orders to do that .. I try to break it down into lots but it's tricky guessing how many orders is too much to handle.  Am I doing something wrong?

I am typing this while waiting for a small order of 6 5x7's to download....
