Well, for one thing, it *isn't* as short as you were claiming; my
testing right now indicates that it's (at least) over a minute.
Perhaps you are running into problems with a local firewall that is
cutting off your connection?

For another thing, the connection controls are *much* less stringent
on most of the mirror servers.  The fact that some mirror wasn't
working for you was a separate problem which can be solved
separately.
