I am downloading the OpenSUSE KDE Live CD in Firefox, and it just says "Starting", but is going no where. In Konquerer the download made it to 12K and stopped. I tried wget from the command line, and that looked like it was working for a while...until it stopped at 76M. In order to make sure there isn't an issue with the download link itself I got from suse, I tried Ubunto, with the exact same behavior.

Are you one Wifi ? Try ethernet cable instead.
What is your gateway/router ?
Some people have problems with the supplied unit ( Actiontec, DLink )
The FIOS routers I've seen at friends houses are nothing but trouble,
I've replaced them
with Linksys WRT-54G units running OpenWRT/DD-WRT for personal use or
Endian community
firewall/UTM device for business & VOIP use.
