I have very good bandwidth at home and can usually download HD iTunes movies fairly quickly. When I try to download the 580 MB 4.0.1 update it fluctuates between 5-8 hours and takes over several minutes just to get to 1 MB.

Are the servers overloaded?
Is anyone else having this issue?

There are several mirrors floating around. Mine was fast at only 15mins.

But this site has direct links to Apple hosted files: http://ios.e-lite.org/
Perhaps give it a try and see if your browser will download it any faster than iTunes.

A few minutes, I think. I wasn't really watching and by the time I looked, my iPhone 4 was already restarting with the upgrade.
