RE: Downloading complete version of SP4

I am advised of a personal suggestion here:

"The download problem is a general problem.  I don't know how robust is the
public ftp server (ftp.software.ibm.com).  If network traffic is very
heavy, we could feel very slow even in North America.  My suggestion is
that users could use third-party ftp programs (cuteftp or Bullet Proof ftp)
or
download programs(FlashGet or Reget) to download fixpacks.  Those programs
support resume download so even if packets are dropped in download
session, they will automatically connect  it again and resume download."

Try these sites for the ftp programs:
www.download.com or www.tucows.com
