I've noticed it being slow for a while now. <<<
I have Pacbell DSL and it was down for a couple hours on Thursday. Most of the time the MS Windows download site is very fast.
I think the download speed depends on the time of day you tried to download updates.
My ISP uses CISCO servers and they do seem to slow down or go down every once in a while.
