Another place with lots of bandwidth you might be able to score from is
Portland State University. I haven't tried (I have decent bandwidth at
home), but if I was looking for tubes, that's a place that comes to mind.

What is giving you the estimate?

been downloaded after an hour.
Sometimes the slow download is more a matter of which mirror you got
sent to. If you can specify one, you might be able to "shop around" for
one that's reasonably fast.
-- This is true and I'm used to this from my Debian mirror days. You could
actually run a test to figure out which was the best / fastest mirror based
on your internet location. For example, I'd often pull from U of O.
It seems now that most of the lesser well known & used distros don't have a
mirror speed test and they're distributing via Sourceforge and other
mainstream software download sites.
But it's probably worth testing all the different download sites the next
time I'm at the Library. Perhaps one will be significantly faster.
