I contacted the Web Staff about the slow down that occurred last night and they are aware. I do not know what caused it other than demand. (Not sure if there was some equipment or some other aspect) Hopefully they can do something to relieve the slowdown. Please give them some time.
I do have a couple of tips when you go to reattempt...
Make sure you are not Scanning on Download
Do not use a Download Accelerator (these can be in ISP Software, Toolbars, etc...)
Clear your Download Cache before attempting the download again
Try renaming the File when prompted to Save (this sometimes bypasses a incomplete download that the system or a download manager may have. These can cause issues for the new attempt.)
Depending on where you live, time is also a consideration when there is a lot of demand...East Coast after 4 AM but before 7 AM is the lowest Web Activity in the US. That should help others.
