I have researched the matter a little, and I have an official answer. The answer is (wait for it...)The bandwidth I get from mirror.hamakor.org.il is my maximal ADSL bandwidth (90KB/s). From iglu.org.il OTOH, I get much much lower.
Why? And what are we going to do about it? Is it Actcom's fault? Is iglu.org.il being DoS'ed?

I don't know.
From my Linux, behind an ADSL router (SBox), through Actcom, I get pretty good bandwidths from both machines. A machine connected via cables, 012.net (Tel Aviv) gets crappy bandwidth from both linux.israel.net and iglu, but good (wonderful) bandwidth from hamakor. Today I connected a machine (Jerusalem) via cables and Netvision. In Windows XP bandwidth was pretty rotten all over the place, and from Linux (exact same setup) it was good, even to iglu (over 90KB/s). The last result may be explained with viruses, though.
To conclude - there is a problem. It is not Actcom (iglu and mirror are on the same segment) nor IIX (same traceroute). It is not the actual computers (0.16 load average on IGLU). It is not the clients. Did I mention I don't know what it is yet?
The only difference I see between IGLU and linux.israel.net, and hamakor, is Redhat - both former host a RedHat mirror, while hamakor doesn't.
