It happened for more than 5 hours when I posted this. Fold.it was mentioned alot in media and facebook at that time, maybe the server was overwhelmed ? After a few hours the download speed went up again.
My point is that in case fold.it gets the media attention again the download servers will surely be overwhelmed again and an official torrent would mitigate that risk.

You have such a slow download speed from the https://fold.it website? Either your ISP service is slow, you have a lot of proxies or a server on one hop that is crapping out, or some other issue, as mine has always downloaded in seconds, but then again, it sounds like you live overseas and it is hosted on a US Server...so maybe that is the issue?
Anyway, I hope the above link is what you were looking for.
Hi, there's some good information here: https://fold.it/portal/node/2008989 and in the other blog posts. Basically, high scores are a good indicator that your protein is doing well and would be useful to scientists- but there are some other goals to strive for as well that are not necessarily reflected in high scores. I would recommend asking the Discord or the in-game chat for advice, and the blog post I linked gives a lot of good information too.
