Slow Download on Upgrade

I'm trying to download the new upgrade (required for multi-play) and it is downloading v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.
I'm getting a transfer rate ~15KB/sec. What's up with that? How big is the file, how long will it take to download?
I've tried using both my wireless card and also wireless connect to a WAN. I'm getting good performance for everything else -- just this download is slow.
Thanks in advance,
John

The download failed with an error message to the effect that there was an error from the server.

I just tried it and it is quite large (200Mb) but I was getting 500k/s download. Hopefully you were just having an ISP route blip.
Cheers

Pip,
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried two different networks -- same result. I'm not having performance problems to other websites.
Dunno.

Hi flatsix518
I do apologise for any issues you are experiencing. Have you tried downloading the patch from

Pip,
So, now I've tried a third -- this time with an ethernet connection.
Are you sure there isn't a problem with the download server?
I've used an AT&T wireless card, my computer wireless connectivity to the hotel high speed internet and ethernet connection to hotel high speed internet.
I'd blame my laptop -- but it is doing well to other sites (including the slitherine server) and is a pretty robust system.
Hmmm.
