If your bandwidth is limited, your best bet is probably to either
download it over bittorrent for the reliability and speed, or wait until
the rush is over (give it a few days), by which point you'll be able to
get more reliable HTTP connections to the various HTTP mirrors.

In fact, bittorrent is almost always the fastest and most reliable way
to get it, especially immediately post-release.
