I'm bumping this, just in case it helps somebody. I tried to download the latest Pharo Launcher 1.6, and I had the same issues as the ones stated in this thread (slow download, timeouts, etc.).
But I downloaded it with a download manager [1], and by means of ten simultaneous connections the download speed was fast enough as to download the 50 MB in a minute or so. So I don't know if there is a restriction from the file server or somewhere in the way out, but you can work around it by means of a Download Manager. Regards! [1] FreeDownloadManager.org Esteban A.
