Seattle Green discussion link fixed.
flmmkr - many people have successfully downloaded the zips from each of the mirrors. Our mirror hosts have sufficient bandwidth so if you are timing out it is somewhere along the chain between your machine and the mirror. It could be any number of issues, perhaps your ISP throttles your web access and only allows so much bandwidth at a time, etc.
It's an extremely difficult thing to pin down, you might try downloading at a different time of day. There are times of peak traffic that could be causing the issue. Maybe start them late at night and let them run overnight. In the meantime youcould start downloading individual films so you can watch some.
Actually, the way the download/vote is set up, you could actually download a film, once it's downloaded, start another download, then open the first and watch it. When you are done, rate the film (1 = terrible, 10 = fantastic), then optionially click on "Discuss" and give your feedback. Next start another download, then watch the second entry that was downloading while you were watching the first. Just an idea
