Well your download speed is often related to the server.  You may be 
trying to get your files from a very busy server.  I understand that 
the us mirror is slow,  I have no problems with  the Canadian  
[ca.archive.ubuntu.com]  archive.  I often go to a European mirror 
when it is after 8-9 pm here in Eastern Can..

I have heard that before but I don't use Gnome so I don't know 
personally.

The filechoosers in Kubuntu work very fast as far as I can see.  How 
can it be crippled?
