What are you downloading? From where? Do you have broadband internet (like cable or dsl)?

Keep in mind that while most sites by now have the capacity to upload (send out to people) a lot of data all at once, sometimes servers can get bogged down by a TON of people trying to access the same thing at the same time, or just having an old (generally smaller) server on a bad connection.

You having a good connection means that you have the ability to download a lot of information very quickly, but that doesn't mean that wherever you're getting from is going to be able to match that.
