Indeed, this is not normal.

That's weird. I'd think this is related to the response time from the
server, but if things go well from your browser, I see no reason why it's so
slow with Ivy. What you can still do is try using a mirror instead of
default maven repo. In the multiple resolvers tutorial, for instance, you
can replace the mere ibilio resolver in the settings by one with another
root:
<ibiblio name="ibiblio" root="http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/maven" />
This is only an example, use the closest mirror from you.

What you can also do is setup your own repository and things should work
much better. And since there are multiple good reasons to have an enterprise
repository (see our best practice page), it's not wasted time anyway :-)
