No, you are not doing something wrong. This is actually the first report of bad 
download speeds we have heard of. We are considering mirroring strategies 
currently for the project, but as of yet, do not have mirrors. Rather, we have 
had several people note an interest in hosting a mirror.

If you have a linux distribution, you might search for an rpm through your 
distributions standard system.

Please try again and if you have a problem, report back, as I am curious the 
issues. Where do you live? And, what type of connection are you using? Those 
things effect the speed of a download as well.

Thanks,
Jon
