What type of connection do you have and where are you downloading from?

This is actually a perfectly normal indication on many ISP connections. I'd guess you have something like a 768kbit connection. The file download estimate starts high and then zeros in on the actual speed as more history is accumulated.

The way to get more speed is to get an ISP that offers faster connections.
