title: Terrible Eclipse (3.5) - problem with "Install new software"
body: <p>I want to install additional software for Eclipse (I use 3.5 because 3.6 is not yet for Scala and Android).</p>
  
  <p>Problem is:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>The downloads / installations are INSANELY slow, I didn't get past 5% on the ADT plugin (for example) in one hour - same for everything else I tried</p></li>
  <li><p>Firefox (no other software so far, IE works fine, etc...) is slowed down when it comes to Internet connectivity as long as "install new software" is running</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit here on a quadcore machine with 4 GB of RAM and an 8 MBit / sec DSL.</p>
  
  <p>Is this a known issue, are there any fixes or will I have to stop considering developing for Android phones?</p>
  
  <p>And yes, I disabled everything - firewall, Skype, etc...</p>
  
  <p>Nothing helped.</p>
  
  <p>JDK installed is 6u21, latest release (installed it today).</p>
