I was just told that DVDs are typically shipped within a couple of days after they are requested unless the request is made right after a new version is released. I don't know how long the shipping time is to Austria, but maybe a big part of that 4 weeks was just the time for DVDs to become available after the new version was released. That delay is probably no different from what it was when Altera used to ship CDs or DVDs to everyone automatically--back then users had to get the files by FTP if they wanted them before CDs/DVDs shipped.
This next point won't help fpgaengineerfrankfurt given the comment "Two more tries to download failed. (FTP over Browser)". However, other users having trouble with the download manager might be able to download successfully using the link at the bottom of the download page where it says this:

We recommend the use of our free download manager utility. The Download Manager provides a more effective, more efficient way to download files than you normally see with a browser, especially for large files or file sets. It can pause and restart downloads even if you turn your computer off and on again. However, if the Download Manager fails to start, or if you do not accept the security certificate, you can download the file without using the Download Manager.
