Hi Curt,

If you download the zip file using bittorrent, most torrent clients
will then automatically become a server and "seed" the file so that
the host machine and internet connection participate in the file
sharing.  So yes, your 3MB DSL would help.  I'm on a
5MBit-Down/2MBit-Up service now, so I can only contribute a portion of
the 2MBit uplink, but the beauty of bittorrent is that pieces of the
file are downloaded in parallel, so lots of smaller pipes can still
add up.

I'm fairly new to bittorrent myself.  It has come in handy downloading
various Linux CD's.
