Never use the European mirror. I always found that using the US mirror filled my download pipe, whereas using the EU mirror was slow as molasses.

Getting ready to download the new tools that Apple will certainly release at WWDC ;-)

The author of the article mentioned that the size of the download was bad user experience. I myself don't really mind a big download. It's the extreme slowness of Apple's server (mercury, the mirror in Europe) that annoyed me. It took me more then 6 full hours to get the download! And I am on an internet connection that can get up to 1.5 MB/s easily! I know internet is complex and stuff, but I don't see what else can have caused this extremely slow speed.

I'm hoping Panther comes with a Developer cd again! ;-)
