I just tested a download (from the US) using a different location: gar.gnome.mk:
MASTER_SITES += ftp://ftp.gnome.org/mirror/gnome.org/sources/.... instead of http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/... to me, it seemed to be much faster. If I'm not mistaken, the mirror will resolve to a free server in a circular queue? Performance has overall been much faster by a factor of 2.5 to 3x.
