I'm sitting here downloading the new 0022 ide at 20-40kbs on my zippy fast internet connection. I don't like waiting for things like this that download to slow. may I put up a faster mirror of the ide files?
If the bottleneck is your internet connection, how will a faster/closer site help?
Always trying to learn.
I just downloaded, extracted, installed, and did a quick blink compile test in less then five mins. I have a 5Mbits DSL connection.
Sure been a lot of IDE version upgrades recently, 20/21/22 have been a blur to me. Must be mostly growing pains for the new Uno additions?

I don't think there's a bottleneck on my end. I have 15mb cable internet to a linux router. it shouldn't take me more then 2 minutes to download. I just tried a speakeasy speed test, works fine. I tried downloading the software again http://arduino.googlecode.com/files/arduino-0022.zip and I'm getting the same speed. half hour download.
It seems that the bottleneck IS on your end. I just downloaded 0022 at close to 1MB/Sec average...
I have a 25Mb connection so my connection did not limit the speed

The connection of the host providing the files and the person downloading the files is meaningless. If there is a bottleneck in between, it doesn't matter how much money you send your ISP.
Which from the sound of it, is the case.
I sure don't miss those dial-up speed days. 
it's not downloading at 1MB/s for me, but it is going much faster for me now. anyway, back to my question.
is it ok if I mirror the ide files?
I think mirrors would help. I was downloading from the official source at 10-30KB/sec, so i did a search and found an unofficial mirror. From there I am downloading at 200-400KB/sec. Much better! Even that isn't close to the total bandwidth I have available. Speakeasy shows 11Mbps or about 1.3MB/sec down, so it's possible a better mirror would be even quicker.
I have proof it's not my home internet connection. I have a server on 10base-t to fiber in a datacenter near NYC. I'm downloading the ide to that directly from the source, and getting 18-25kbs. sitting here waiting for it, it finally got up to 45, but still says almost 40 minutes to go.
here's my mirror http://downloads.growcontrol.com/arduino/ide/ I'll keep it updated with the current version.
wait what? your original complaint was 20-40kbs, and slower off your fiber server is proof of its not your internet connection?
confused
What are you using to measure the transfer speed? I tried a few downloads, and all maxed out my connection before the server's connection (I was downloading at around 1.7MB/s). Have you done a trace to arduino.cc to see if there may be a problem along the line somewhere?
edit: Just noticed the file is hosted on Google Code. Google's servers are rock solid, so there must be a problem between you and your ISP, or your ISP and google.
could it be that net neutrality garbage going on? east coast us is very slow downloading it. I've tried from multiple locations now. both locations have totally different internet providers and carriers. I'm completely sure it's not a problem on my end. here's the ip I'm getting for arduino.googlecode.com 173.194.33.82 I ping it at 18.8ms
edit: now I'm getting the file at 800 some kbs, under 2 minutes. fluctuation this bad isn't normal
There's definately something funky with Google Code from here. Downloading the source code from GitHub I get about 125 K/s. Downloading the IDE from Google Code I get about 30 K/s.

If you're having problems, post a trace route.
Don't know if it's related or not, but I use google tool bar spell check a lot for several years now and I believe it works using a on-line dictionary? Anyway for the first time ever, but only for the last couple of days there have been maybe 6 times where it says something like unavailable try again later. Usually in a min or so it would work again. Didn't see it today so far, but as I said the last couple of days it has happened. I've had no other internet issues during this period.

well when this post started I downloaded it at 90kbs and later on the bench machine at over 1mbs
tonight its ass (still at a steady 38kbs), but that's the internet for you
@Coding Badly
Is that really high latency normal for you? The first few hops should be less than 20ms, not over 60ms.
The server I am downloading from at google code is 72.14.204.82.
I am also using HTTPS everywhere, if that matters.
To explain to the people who are having trouble understanding (or maybe I'm misunderstanding what they're saying :/)
Even if the Arduino server had a TB/S upload speed, and OP had a TB/S download speed, if a server somewhere in the line was limited due to maybe servers being down/overwhelmed (though over a period of time I doubt it's because they're overwhelmed) and can only provide 150 kb/s then that'll be the speed he gets...
Seems to me that, due to the opensource nature, they should have a torrent available, which will make things much easier on the servers (not that they're slow or anything, but I haven't been around on a patch day)

In my experience the numbers reported in a trace route are always considerably higher than ping times. And they are in that case.
I was just comparing them to mine, which shows:

I'm using a cable internet connection in rural Maine, which is known for high latency, slow speeds, and massively oversubscribed nodes
