I regularly download from Norway at >100KB per second. I just rsync'ed, and
got a slow 47KB/sec.
Being in Victoria, the problem could be your BCnet link - they're not exactly
known for fast connectivity with very heavy link utilization to the mainland.
Believe it or not, but I can sunsite.uio.no at about the same rate as I can
ping you, and the body of water between the mainland and you is a little
shorter than between me and Norway.
If you're currently syncing to Norway, 3am is a bad time since you're in the
middle of prime time in Europe. Pick early evening when it's the middle of
night in Europe.
