I just did a pkg update of hipster this afternoon.  I'm on a fast university
network too, but I saw plenty of times in the same range as Harry.  My
average for the entire 560 MB update was 1.0M/s.

pkg.openindiana.org appears to be in London, so maybe it's the link to
the UK that's causing things to be slower for us.
