    You typically aren't downloading directly from SE... they often come from mirrored servers.

    Downloads will often pause periodically in stages as individual patches are unpacked and installed, and then resume again, so in the scope of the whole process it may not be an accurate indication of the speed you are actually downloading at in real time. You can open resource monitor (resmon from search/run box) to see a more accurate reflection of your real-time throughput.

    Otherwise, if you are indeed getting choked, that could be because of a screwy routing policy that is slowing things down (false-positive for P2P or something), or there may be some elevated congestion along the path. If you open resmon, you can see the address the launcher is actually downloading from and then you can get the path checked out. Might find that it is somewhere in Massachusetts or Amsterdam (like the Akamai connection I get patches from, 23.62.6.81--it shows up as Cambridge, MA). If there are issues along that route, your ISP might be able to look into things on your behalf.
