Are you sure it's not trying to download a huge email?

Do you have webmail access to the mailbox you are trying to download from?

Even broadband can struggle on silly sized e-mail attachments

If its Outlook 2002, delete and re-create the profile (DON'T delete the PST). Its amazing the amount of "email" problems are fixed by doing this

Sounds very likely to me that you have got a mail on your server which is not wanting to download, login via webmail and check the mailbox that way inisitally.

Nope, that was a pub induced typographical error.
