The problem is probably on your side. I just went there now, clicked on My Account, then on Show Purchases and then I downloaded one of the items, a 20MB one. It downloaded in 3 minutes or so, at a steady rate of 100KB/s. It was all very simple and, though it wasn't the fastest download I've ever seen, it wasn't too slow either.

Regardless of where the problem lies, I also think the thread title is not a good one.
