[plt-scheme] connection reset on pre.plt-scheme.org

Something similar also happens to me nearly every time I try to download
anything from pre.plt-scheme.org.  It only works like once every 20
times.  It's been like this for a while; I always thought the problem
was on my end.  It blasts the first few hundred Kb then the transfer
rate just drops to 0.  I don't get "Connection reset by peer" and the
connection doesn't seem to be lost because wget's ETA keeps going up.

$ wget http://pre.plt-scheme.org/installers/plt-3.99.0.23-bin-i386-linux-ubuntu-feisty.sh
--01:12:34--  http://pre.plt-scheme.org/installers/plt-3.99.0.23-bin-i386-linux-ubuntu-feisty.sh
           => `plt-3.99.0.23-bin-i386-linux-ubuntu-feisty.sh'
