Welcome to MSFN.

It is highly recommendable that you don't download Microsoft products from any other place than Microsoft websites. I'm very surprised of the speed, MS always give me as much speed as I can handle.

Retry or get some free download manager to speed up the download.

Edit: this download is smaller than the .iso http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5b33b5a8-5e76-401f-be08-1e1555d4f3d4&displaylang=en

Assuming this is the file you're downloading, it must be your link or some hop between you and the site. I'm getting ~2.3MB/sec downloading this.
