i'm from belgian myself, and usually get around 350/400 KBPS from FP. Thing is, with the downloader it'll always chose the nearest server, mostlikely that's UK. That, as a sidenote.
The Warhammer client seems to be popular, so it's only natural you'd have to wait so long, unless of course you go premium. Someone already suggested it, find someone with a premium account and ask if you can use it to download the client.
