Guys, I'm sorry for this. It was really childish on my side.
The main reason why Actcom lets us host a server which transfers such
big amounts of information (just see the MRTG traffic log any day)
daily is because most of it is pushed via Actcom's IIX link which is
big (25MB, was it?) and cheap.

I was actually trying to test the limits of the server hardware.
Apparently, the hardware couldn't care less for 130 downloads. As to
speeds, US users told me it was pretty slow, so maybe offering such an
inconvenient geographical location for hosting was a bad service to
the Slashdot visitors too.
