[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Eclipse download site performance is terrible

[4markus@xxxxxxxxx (Mark Thomson)]

Hi,

I'm trying to download a build of PDT but getting less than 1.0k/s and 
intermittent timeouts from download.eclipse.org.

I also tried connecting from a remote computer several thousand miles away 
and am getting the same thing so I know it's not my connection.

This has been going on for 10+ hours, is there a newsgroup for posting 
about these issues that someone could suggest (or another alternative)?

It's driving me insane :-/
