I noticed that Ibiblio sometimes is throttled for some reason. Probably
because of load. Try one of the others such as Indiana U which I have
found quite reasonable.
I alos think you should use a download manager that can resume or take a
look at using bittorrent/p2p download which can also resume.
The following may help with the download managers and it used to be part
of the download info but I do not see it there:
Download Managers There are several download managers that
enable you to resume downloading after an interruption. Most of
these are for Windows. For a general survey of the best download
managers, go to:

See also:
* Free Download Manager
* Downloader for X
* GetRight
* Go!Zilla
* Download Accelerator Plus
* NetAnts
* ProZilla (Linux)
Hope this helps.
