Any alternate download sites for speakup ftp?

[Al Puzzuoli]

Thanks a lot!

I just started downloading disk 1.  Right now, I'm getting about 70KB/s and 
it's estimating roughly 2 hours and 30 mins for the first disk.  At this 
rate, I'll have them all before i would have had even one from the speakup 
server.
