Thread:Project:Support desk/So slow, MediaWiki 1.16.5 download can't be completed

I have been trying to download MediaWiki 1.16.5 from http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download for 5 hours. It is incredibly slow and always times out after a few K, or at most a couple of Meg. I have tried different browsers, all the same.

On twitter I found this "@agrajag9 Is #mediawiki having issues? The site is awfully slow and I can't download at all." with a timestamp 17 hours ago.

Can this be checked, please?

This may be a wider problem - just getting the CAPTCHA image to set up an account here took several minutes, though not everything is quite that slow.

Thanks
