slackware packages

Is there a good website for slackware other than slackware.com? All the downloads are really slow, like 8.6kps

There are tons of ftp mirrors: http://slackware.com/getslack/

There is also http://www.linuxpackages.net/ for packages of apps not officially included in the slackware releases.
