Hello,

i am trying to download an app from itune store ( Cartoon network , 138 MB ) i have good speed with my wifi, i just checked with speettest on my iphone and its showing 35MB down.
But still, it looks like the app is 10% done.

is there a problem ? with my wifi ? or its normal ?

Its 138MB.
That's a big app and it will take time.
How fast you expected to download in 10 seconds?

Not in 10 sec. but atlest in 20 min. ??? its it good time ? if you have connecton of 35mbps ?? and i know that apple itune server might be loaded....but come on...its almost an hour..and its not even half way...

138MB is really not big on a 35Mb connection. I've apps that are 1.5gb there big but even then they don't take a long time to download.

Anyway op apples servers are on a slow go today.

I've noticed that too. My wifi is like 20-30mbps down and I still need to wait forever to download a measly 10 mb app. I thought something was wrong with my phone's wifi reception, but I tried loading a couple of websites and those loaded quickly.

True.
I didn't know how long you were waiting but even 20 minutes is long for that.
My guess is because of hurricane sandy there's server issues and power outages that might have caused slowdowns.

Try downloading Batman which is a gig. It took 40 days and 40 nights. Stay dry and help your neighbour if needed.
