Painful, isn't it.
It's as if Apples is serving it from a LC doing LocalTalk :)
The worst is that Apple doesn't allow resumes (if they do, I haven't figured
out how to). I had to boot into Mac OS 9, so I had to stop the download. As I
feared, I couldn't resume. So now I've started all over. This time letting a
remote machine doing the work for me.
So not only can't Apple's servers handle the load (assuming that's the
cause), but by not allowing resumes they increase the load even.
(Yes, I'm complaining, a bit. But I *am* very excited about all the new AS
stuff! Just so you know ;))

Apple allows you to log in multiple times? That's cool. I hadn't even
considered trying that.
Still, I'm sticking with the full download. The segmented download would be
useful if I could use wget for it, so I could set it up and just let it run
unattended. But wget doesn't seem to be an option with the way Apple has set
this up. (Possibly Apple uses 'authentication' through cookies, which wget
says it can do. But I'm not clever enough to figure out how to retrieve the
cookie info from iCab in a form that allows me to feed it to wget and satisfy
Apple.)
