Yesterday I downloaded from

successful, but it required approximately twelve hours to complete.
On the other hand all my other downloads, including those from the
debian wheezy depositaries, are super fast. I am in Thailand but have
a fibre optic connection to the ISP close by and from there by
satellite directly to the rest of the world. It would consequently
seem that any slowdown is not at my end.
Is such a low speed for downloads from quickbuild normal?

This is precisely one of the things why it was set up some time ago
mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org.
The line to the primary server have limited bandwidth and each additional user
downloading directly from quickbuild causes slowdown in synchronization to
the mirrors. Unfortunate that many users still have registered in the apt
sources ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net.
New mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org would have prevented the situation, because
apt lists on the mirrors has not yet been updated to R14.0.2 == for its users
is not yet R14.0.2 for download...
