Hi John,
This download is probably slow because Webmin is using the default sourceforge
mirror site, osdn.dl.sourceforge.net . You can configure it to use a faster mirror
in future by going to the Webmin Configuration module, clicking on Proxy Servers and
Downloads, and selecting a closer mirror from the 'Preferred OSDN mirror for downloads'
menu.
