I've been trying to download the new version of Firefox since yesterday. Every time i try it seems as if its downloading so slow that it freezes or never gets past 20%. Today was the first time it got to 43% but even right now it's stuck and hasn't moved in a good ten minutes or so. The download manager says it's downloading the program at 2.53 MB/sec so i'm just wondering why it's going so slow. I would love to get this installed so I can stop having to use internet explorer (which has oddly been running extremely slow lately as well). I also think it's frozen because it wont even let me pause/restart the download. I'm afraid to start it over because what if it doesn't get this far in the download again? Thanks for any help you can give.

I live in the US and ALL the downloads are coming from overseas. NONE of the downloads are coming from north america
