One thing that'll definitely work is to get cable / ADSL, but I assume that you can't do so if you have to ask this question.
I think the best way is to get a USB flash drive, go somewhere with a faster Internet connection (for example: Internet café, library, or a friend's house if you have a friend who has a faster connection), download the iTunes install file to the flash drive, then go home and install it on your computer.
Another way is to start the download before you go to bed, as ad0rkable already mentioned. That way, it should be finished when you get up the next morning. You won't need the phone when you're sleeping, and since most other people in your area will also be sleeping, there will be less traffic on the local lines and it will be slightly faster. The downside is that if the connection drops, you won't notice until the next morning, and then you'll have to wait until night to try again. If you have to use this method, I recommend using a download manager (then again, it'll take time to download one of those, so I think you're better off with the first method).

There's nothing you can do about how long it takes to download the program. The best I can offer is getting a faster internet service, one that does tie up your phone line, or to find one of those few people that got Video iPods with a new version of iTunes 7 on CD. I'm pretty sure that once iTunes 7 came out that Apple stopped selling the CDs that came with iPods, but you might be able to find one.
I also suggest downloading iTunes at night, when no one is going to call you, and when you computer has nothing else running to make it go as fast as you can. You also won't notice that it's downloading becuase, hopefully, you're asleep.

I have an ipod and an ibook. It takes me maybe only a few seconds to download one song. I've never heard of it taking nine hours and I have many friends who have ipods and macs. I suggest dsl or cable as your isp.
