Ok, last response from me for a bit, I'm leaving after I type this :D

To see how fast it actually was, I emerged a kernel.  Here's the result:

57.59K/s where typically there I see (from gentoo.org or from
kernel.org) around 750K/s

I'm running Comcast, so I don't know if that has anything to do with
it.  Once that emerged finished, I did a wget from kernel.org for
2.6.17 and got:
771.23K/s
