DOS on symantec?

Looks like Symantec might be under a DOS attack or something is up with their ftp server. I've been trying to download the latest av signatures to load onto a loan machine thats just come back to the office. The 8mb download, on our 2mb adsl line is downloading at a dismal 1k/s228b/s speed.
Update Don't know what it was but I ultravnc'ed into my home pc and then got the update file from its 256k adsl line. I then used the file transfer option in ultravnc to drag the file back to the office. So the office adsl is unlikely to be at fault, and neither is the symantec connection - might be the demon link somewhere shrug of shoulders
