I have downloaded BS2 on a 2009 MacMini running Yosemite and the download time jumped up to 4+ hours. It eventually downloaded, I had no issues with my internet prior or after downloading, so I didn't attribute it to my internet speed.

I have to swap computers and the other is running El Capitan. It is a 2008 MacPro. Both are on the same network and both are showing total download time of 6 hours. It's a 41 MB file, this shouldn't be the case. I just tried to download a music album, 16 songs, from Amazon and that happened in a matter of minutes. Is there something about the download link for BS2? Obviously I just have to wait and let it download, but it's so slow it made me wonder what could be up.

I searched the forum and did not find anything on this, which makes me wonder if it is somehow just happening to me, but I wanted to ask.

 
The file is hosted on Amazon S3 and not my BeerSmith server so honestly it should be lightning fast.  I just downloaded it in about 2 seconds.

Honestly I have no idea why it would be hanging up for you as Amazon S3 hosts files for a large portion of the internet and they have servers around the world.
