Downloading from Gameforge takes forever.

No, games not that popular to have that.

There are direct download links posted elsewhere in the forum (link in my signature) and the files are mirrored to a file-share site. You may prefer to try the links there.

I also tried those but was only getting like 140Kbps. I was able to reinstall using a VERY old install, then copied the entire directory from another computer.

I can't imagine people trying to install this from scratch who have never played the game when it takes DAYS to install the 15GBs.

I have a nominal 25 KB/sec connection.

As I write this, I'm downloading the #1 .bin file from Gameforge.com at 2230 KB/sec.

Check with your ISP.

Installation (which is more or less just an unzipping) takes longer than the actual download here for me (>15-20mb/s easily), and Gameforge LIve already is a torrent-downloader for the clientgames.

I would assume shitty routing from the CDN to known-crap ISPs like Comcast and you-name-them. Bandwidth seems to be available plenty ...

Is there any known filehosting service you would get good download speeds from so we can take that into account for the selection of mirrors?

MEGA is known to have plenty-a-bandwidth, but I cannot say anything about download speeds for US users there.

I reinstalled the game about a week ago using Gameforge Live and it was fully installed and patched in about 2 hours max. Not sure why people think it takes days to install, that's likely a problem with your internet connection.
