Been there, done that.

It's not your link that is limiting, it's FTNT's side. They have to share their upload bandwidth with a couple of customers, each downloading 6 GB.

IIRC it doesn't take quite as long as estimated but it might take 2 hours.

 

And do take your time to calculate a hash sum on the download and compare with the value given. You do not want a glitch to confuse files. A tar archive is not protected against this in any way.
