Hi guys,

I'm playing with the Eclipse Java IDE and one of the things I'm trying to download from their site is an RCP/Plug-in package for developers which is 153MB's in size.

The problem is that their downloads are automatically rerouted to a local S.A. mirror at ftp.sun.ac.za which I get around 1Kb/s download speed. Since there are a number of things I need to download it will take me forever to get it all. Is there any way I can fool their server to think I'm in the U.S. or something so that they route me to a faster server? They provide no option to manually select from other mirrors.

Here is the full path to one of the files I need:
