If it's for iso's I too would recomend bittorrent.I just used it to
download both the i386 and amd64 desktop hardy cd's and got a solid
650Kbps download. I even tried to leave the iso's seeding for a day,
but it only uploaded about 40meg in total.

That's the best bittorrent experience I have had so far!
