is 3 hours to download a 1 hour TV show normal???

Seems awfully sloooow to me. I feel like shows have downloaded in a shorter amount of time in the past. I'm trying to download an episode of The Walking Dead (episodes are typicaly 45 minutes long). iTunes is telling me it'll take 3 hours to download??? This has been happing a lot lately with iTunes. My internet speed seems to be normal. Browsing the web seems fine. I have a Comcast Cabel internet connection.

says it's downloading @ 1.4 Mb/sec. I'm not sure how fast or slow that is. I'd be curious to know what other people's download speeds are.

Anyone? Anyone? Thanks guys. Big help.

The Apple discussion boards used to be a good place to get answers. I guess not so much anymore.
