The download time it takes to set up your new iPhone will be dependent on, at least, two things:
- The amount of data you had backed up, and to where (computer or iCloud)
- Your overall network bandwidth.
Not sure what you quantify as being "forever." Regardless, one method to speed things up is to connect your phone directly to a Mac or PC running iTunes/Finder during the setup process. The support article you came here from should have provided you with that information.
