Notice that that 7 Mb reads as 7 Mbit, not 7 Mbyte, and it also means, in 
ISPs parlance, usually maximum speed, not real, sustained speed.

You can calculate the download time easily. It it downloads, say, at 500 
Kbyte/s, and the image has, say, 4 GB (not 4 GiB), it would take a minimum 
of 8000 seconds, ie, 2.22 hours.

Use a metalink client, such as aria2c, to optimize your download speed.
