LOL (/me laughs)

you should have told me you were not downloading from the main site but 
from the nl 
mirror!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the nl.lunar-linux.org mirror sits on a 128kbit/sec outgoing line and is 
  purely for your entertainment (read, if all the other mirrors fail you 
could use it).

:^P

maybe this sounds like a surprise to you but the mirrors are hosted for 
free by people with different pipes, some of them faster then others.

maybe you want to use the se. or .de mirror instead? ;^)
