I'm in Portsmouth on 10MB and my speeds are fine... I'm currently downloading from Fileplanet at 1.4MB/s.

When you download a file there's two factors to consider, your download bandwidth and the host's upload bandwidth. It may just be that the host's connection is saturated and can only allocate enough to you for a low speed.

Best thing to do would be to find a different mirror or try and use a download accelerator that opens multiple connections to the host. DAP would work nicely. Just goodle For Download Accelertor Plus.
