Today I tried to download EGit plug-in from eclipse.org, and waited an hour and nothing happened. I tried three more times, waited for three hours and stopped.
Then I tried to clone egit from the repository developers, but it began to clone at a rate of 5kbps.
Then I thought maybe something wrong with my Eclipse, and decided to download a new one. Eclipse main site opened with a super-slow speed (although bigger than 5kbps). I'm just afraid to download the installer at this speed.
Can anybody repoduce it? What should I do?

The issue you are experiencing may be tied to the active provider in Eclipse's Network Connections settings: Direct - "Choosing the Direct provider causes all the connections to be opened without the use of a proxy server." Manual - "Selecting Manual causes settings defined in Eclipse to be used."
This file is about 182 Mb so it might take a while to download fully if you are on a slow internet connection (it took me about 3 minutes over a cable modem). Don't worry about the exact time as long as the download continues to make steady progress. Terminate the window browsing the Eclipse download.
this eclipse. Such a long startup time is usually the sign of some kind of timeout, because a resource (path, internet address?) does not respond. This user is third on the weekly GitLab leaderboard.
You're right, Eclipse updating can be horribly slow, regardless of connection speed.
From what I can tell, this is because it checks a whole bunch of slow servers looking for updates every time you try and install something. You can disable this behaviour in the "Install New Software" dialog by unchecking the "Contact all update sites" option. I find that things go an awful lot faster then.
