Is the download significantly faster when using a different FTP client? It might just be a slow download due to lack of bandwidth (most FTP servers support throttling).

Try this: connect to that FTP server using an FTP client such as FileZilla, and see how long it takes to download that file. (Make sure you do that from the same computer where you're running that Java code.) Then at least you'll know whether you have a problem to solve or not.
