Try support at slackware.com, however, I'm not sure if this is the correct
address.  I've looked around on their site a bit and think this would be
the best place to try.

Most of the packages shown on linuxpackages.net are hosted by the
package creator themselves, thus a lot are going to be on your basic
broadband service.  Linuxpackages.net doesn't have the money to host so
many packages and will only host a package that is under 10MB I think.
In other words, unless we can get a volunteer to step up and host the
whole enchilada (mmmm, enchiladas) on a fast connection we just have to
live with the connection speeds.  :-\
