Well, the speed difference is over 40x (~14 seconds to 600+ seconds), so
I would think if the Browser had similar problems, it'd be bindlingly
obvious.

Switch your code to download this file:

http://commonsware.com/misc/test.mp4

to:

/sdcard/test.mp4

and see what happens. If this works much more quickly for you, then
there's something afoot with the Web server you're downloading from.
