I’m trying to download ruby182-15.exe from  
[Ruby on Rails — A web-app framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.](http://www.rubyonrails.org/down) and it currently going at 0.9KB/s, so  
only 4 and a half hours remaining! Does anyone know if there is another  
location I can get it from? Is it always like this, or does it  
sometimes go at a useable speed?

Thanks

Oops, just seen the post from Tom further down the page - thanks for the  
update and I look forward to getting the files later. Sorry for dumb  
posting.
