The Tor speed isn't that low (the forementioned 0-50kb/s), that speed is for
the I2P network, Tor operates from like 50kb-2MB/s, but the second I threw my 
look
at the speed it was around like 200-300kb/s, so I would NOT consider that to be
low speed.
Tor users consider that good speed, but I2P users consider that very fffffast.

Interesting.
I don't update that often, but currently I need EDGY snapshot because of a bug
that broke X11 :/
Good to know though!
I just wish I could use the I2P network for it without (presumably) ftp marking
it as "stalled" and basically rigging the progress. Perhaps it's not ftp's
fault :/
It is discrimination against 0-kb/s :'D

Speaking of the mirror which "isn't updated so often" the mirror you linked to
is literally the mirror that was used when the bug happened LoL
