as usual the images are provided to our content delivery provider, who
is supposed to spread it globally. Here in Germany I get currently
around 5 MB/s, but it might take longer in other locations esp. if
edgecast has not cached the images yet for your region.

Please let me know if the downloads continue to take so long in the next
days.

I also suggest to use download managers like wget who should be able to
resume an interrupted download.

Example:

wget -c -O SLE-12-Server-DVD-x86_64-Beta10-DVD1.iso "http://download.novell.com/sendredirect?target=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.novell.com%2Frest%2FUhn2fg6VMyk%7E%2FSLE-12-Server-DVD-x86_64-Beta10-DVD1.iso%3F5bc3650926e7f0c7ef48580b7c5f13515ee43d7f1ef6a6119cf82071622290816d9e36b7d5b1e2516ae55bdc7521d2f28a77b3a739f82dd9de807aa9233cd5b4d3d2d4&buildid=Uhn2fg6VMyk~&fileid=s-MT95fsPFk~&mirror=AkamaiHost&nohost=false&ws=true"
