If you change your hosts file back to apple servers the normal itunes restore will work. I've downloaded the 5.1.1 update twice today and it took less than 5 minutes. (To change hosts you can just run Tiny Umbrella and uncheck the "Set hosts to Cydia on exit" box in the advanced settings.)

I did change the host back but even iTunes is saying 5 hours to download! Well SEVEN HOURS NOW!

you have a slow connectionI upgraded my iPad 2 to 5.1.1 in anticipation of the jailbreak, now I try to jailbreak this morning and it doesn't work, let me explain doesn't work...
1) Reset everything
2) Ran absinthe as administrator
3) Absinthe recognizes my device (iPad 2 Wfi/3G 64GB model A1396)
4) Absinthe runs its course, iPad says it has done everything, but at the end of it all I have no Cydia or anything else that may look like it's jailbroken

Many are reporting exact issue with iPad 2 today. You'll have to wait for an Absinthe update when the Devs are done their conference. Thus happened last time with one particular iDevice on Absinthe. Some are saying a full restore thru iTunes before Jailbreaking solved it for them - and others say that didn't help either.

Follow the steps in this post http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-hacking/44596-official-ipad2-jailbreak-thread-60.html#post556872
Skip the reset everything step.did nothing for me.
Have you tried to use the links from this forum, here? It may be faster than trying to get the iOS from Apple. Try this link and see if it's any better (be sure to get the correct iOS for your version of iPad): http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-hacking/24939-official-apple-ios-firmware-download-links-ipad.html
Good luck.

install Linpack from the app store (free) and as soon as you run it, you'll see your version listed on the screen.
