fast download freeware

Hi,

I am new to linux and I was suggested to download 'live CD' The download is taking a lot of time, 2% complete. Will you please tell me which freeware should I download to make this download faster (like 'getright)?

Today is my fist day of posting.
I am waiting for your reply because right now time is of essence for me. (I believe words like 'urgent' are not to be written.]
best regards,
drashok

Most Linux distributions are available on several different mirror servers around the world. You should try to download from the mirror that is closest to you.

Also, be aware that a CD image can weigh in at 700MB and a DVD image at 4700MB or thereabouts, so it will most certainly will take some time unless you have a very fast Internet connection.
