The mirror listed under the sticky topic has an absolutely pathetic 14kb max for me, and when we're talking about files this huge trying to get them is a Bit Torrent-esque feat of patience. If there's absolutely no other choice I could get the things that way but I'm wondering if anybody knows mirrors for the various files?
Faster mirror for Big Picture + BGT files?

Try the European Mirror and see if it is any faster:

Well, that mirror is real slow for me 6.6Kb/s, and I have broadband. Is there perhaps any other mirrors at all?
I was trying to download BGT and since it is about 660meg it would take about...over 31 hours.

IEGMC Asia, IEGMC Europe and IEGMC America are the only three mirrors that I know of which have BGT. You may also try the FTP Mirror as it is smoother with handling resumes. GetRight and FlashGet also work well when resuming files on the HTTP mirrors.
The download may take a while, but it is well worth it. What happened to patience being a virtue?

Well the FTP mirror is showing even longer download times for some reason. I am currently downloading from the IEGMC EUROPE site, since it is the faster one for me now, at the above mentioned rate.
I am used to very long download times from using Emule (leaving computer on for days, etc.), however these sites are very bandwidth limited compared to most other download sites I have used to download mods, etc. And my hope of course was that it might be hosted on a faster site.
Still, since these are the only two sites hosting BGT, there is little choice. At any rate, thank you for hosting such big files regardless of dl speed.
