OK, here's some more data:
>From the Technion (vipe.technion.ac.il) I got an (average) bandwidth of
104.78 KB/s
when downloading from iglu.org.il and a bandwidth of 52.19 KB/s when
downloading from hamakor. Note that there is an HTTP proxy in the
Technion, the affects all external downloads.
So I suppose the problem is with 012.net.il. I'll try to contact them
about it.

Writing a BitKeeper replacement is probably easier at this point than getting
its license changed.
