I started 24 minutes ago, and should finish in 10 more minutes. The speed of my web browsing has not been affected 🙂

A friend of mine downloaded a 650 meg linux ISO over dialup years ago. Good thing he was using one of those download managers. I forget how long it actually took him to do it.

At least he didn't have to search for a "fast" mirror site first. 😉
 
I just downloaded a RedHat ISO in a little over a minute. Having a Gigabit and a OC12 connection to the Internet is nice. 😉
