If they have any rsync mirrors (Rsync's Cool!), use that to download
(actually to sync your already downloaded copy) and it should take a lot
less than 2 days. Rsync does very well at recognizing the large
portions of the iso image that were likely downloaded correctly, and
will only download what needs to be 'fixed'.
If you're lucky a quick rsync and md5sum check will yeild a working CD.
