I cannot figure out why this is the 29th Olympic Games.
Answer
First, they count the Summer Games separately from the Winter games.
Second, two sets of Summer Olympics were cancelled due to World War II, but they are counted in the numbering scheme. Here is a list of the Summer Games:

Answer
Getting a faster connection solves this problem. Try using a different internet provider such as comcast because a lot of the time using a smaller brand gives you slower speed because they don't handle as many people as the bigger companies.
