You seem to have eliminated the thing I thought most likely QoS setting on your router. All I can say is that I have had a very possitive experience with the downloads on the north american servers. My install times are slow (it seems to download to the flash and then install to the external HDD) but my download times are all reasonable. I have downloaded everything that did not come in the box and that was not a retail only title. (ZombiU, AC3, Sonic, Mario, Trine, JD4, etc... were all fine).
Is your ISP throttling large downloads? Some of the ISPs here do that.
