I found last night installing things on Intrepid took quite a while, I 
presume the mirrors are being hammered at the moment.  Luckily I managed 
to pick up Jaunty Desktop during the day and I don't need any other 
images just yet so I'll probably leave them until the weekend (torrents 
are heavily throttled on my broadband connections).

Checking the Virgin Media mirrors, they now look to be up to date, not 
sure how quick they'll be, but for Virgin Media customers it might offer 
a bit more speed.  The mirror can be found here:
