My download took about an hour, and I am only 8 hops on the net outside of Apple. If there is any other form of network issues between you and the download servers, that will add to the gnashing of teeth.

Where are you downloading it from? Apple has plenty of capacity and a world-wide content-delivery system. But their code is a mess. I used to get horrible speeds downloading App Store things from Canada. But if I turned on my USA VPN, the download would run 50 times faster. Normally, a VPN will slow down your connection. But whatever Apple was doing wrong in the content delivery network was causing a 100x slowdown that dwarfed any slowdown associated with the VPN.
I haven't seen this problem recently, but that doesn't mean Apple fixed the bug. It could be just moved and appearing for different people, like you.
