I've been having the same problems on a half-dozen computers but it seems to
have cleared up within the last day.
I'm in the US and noted it was trying to update from EUR- servers. It would
always fail, timeouts. Now it's using using us-2.updates.f-prot.net and it
seems ok.
This has happened before sporadically though, so I would be interested in
finding out what's going on. There's no info about the problems at their
site and the form you have to fill out to send a support request takes so
long to fill out I haven't bothered.

D/L'ed 2 days ago, w/o any problems (very good speed).
The d/l speed varies greatly (as bad as double the "normal").
Generaly, daytime (EST) on weekends is hopeless.
FWIW: Attempt to d/l macrdef2.zip. If the time exceeeds whatever
you consider "good" for your connection, try again later. Note
that's on a dialup -- IMMV.
