That's usually not true, and if it were, just leave it on overnight. I remember in the dorms at USC, I once downloaded 2 linux CDs simultaneously in 10 minutes total. Of course, that was at a good 1.3MB/s. To Warren's local sites, you can probably get nearly 300K/s, which is probably enough to download all 3 CDs (usually you only really need the first two) in under 2 hours. More likely 1 hour or less if you're not in peak time. But then I'm out of state, so I couldn't speed test. I remember getting 800K/s from a roadrunner site once, though.
