Your connection is surely slow or the servers are slow due to high demand...

Google iOS5 direct links...

Go to any place that offers direct links to the Apple files (the link needs to be from the site apple.com)

Choose the correct version of iPhone and iPad you have and download their iOS...

Then after download is done, plug the iPhone (and iPad later on) to the laptop...

Open iTunes, go to the iPhone/iPad, there's upgrade and restore...

Click on option+restore (Mac) or shift+restore (on windows)...

Find the downloaded file and choose it and let the updating begin...

It'll restore as a new iPhone/iPad and then restore from backup...

This oughtta work for you...


But be careful to choose the right iOS version (gsm it CDMA, 4 or 3Gs, ipad wifi or 3G gsm or 3G CDMA etc)
