I have often found that downloads from IBM a best done when the US are asleep! This makes a huge difference. Luckily I am in the UK.

Confirmed. It also took me 12 minutes to download part 1 of the fixpack
(1.5GB) from Germany at 8 a.m.

Well, to be honest, those times were from work where the bandwidth is
managed to some degree. Let me run a quick test here.
Okay, here on my cable modem the large file is 12 minutes. 12 minutes
for 1.5GB seems reasonable to me.
Joe
Even your times are pretty sad though Joe don't you think?
I've done similar size downloads from Apple and other companies
and rarely have to leave it running while I do other stuff.
It just saddens me that IBM who have such a big play on how
important the web/cloud/etc. are constantly among the worst performers
when it comes to web site and download performance. I just don't
understand it.
