download speed depends on your location and your speed and what game is it your downloading, on day one of a release, a given game will or could be slower than on day 2 and 3 etc etc

it also depends on how you are downloading it, some browsers are quicker than others, with some not liking ftp sites at all and then it's better to grab it with a FTP free program which not only works faster for some, but also resumes the download if you get cut off or any errors etc
