I wouldn't say overloaded.  Throttled is the right word, and we do have it
throttled.  Although even throttled on one machine I was able to download
the latest live beta in roughly 10 minutes on my slicehost.com host, and
closer to 9 hours on my workstation at home.  Its always difficult to tell
where the slowness happens but I suspect in my slow case it was because my
ISP was limiting my traffic and slicehost.com was not.
