2008 R2 AD ... Specified replication partner, can I change this later during initial replication

Hello - Healthy single forest, single domain with 100+ DC's.  Today, added new DC to the forest/domain and selected another DC in it's same site as it's replication partner during dcpromo, initial replication.  Turns out this other DC is in the
same site, but in an OLD building that we are getting rid of and the link between the old and new is not good at all.  It's already done critical replication, now just progressing with initial full replication, but it's taking a LONG time (days). 
Is there any way for me to switch the new DC to finish it's initial replication with another DC, that's on a much better network link?  (Or am I stuck as is with the extremely slow link?)  I would prefer to not kill this and do metadata cleanup if
possible, prefer to sync w/another DC.  Thank you.

Hello,
If the connectivity is unstable, you will have problems in AD replication.
You can use IFM to avoid replicating much information: http://blogs.technet.com/b/activedirectoryua/archive/2009/01/19/installing-from-media-ifm.aspx
