I ran into the SAME thing this weekend Jon - couldn't BELIEVE how long it
took. Forever from home (DSL) but I have multiple computers so I just let it
go. Also "took over" my PC at work from home and did the download here on a
T1 and it took forever... Weird.

 >> There's something wrong with your DSL connection then.

Nope - nothing wrong with that.  I have downloaded any number of very large
files recently - and the speed is just fine.  I suspect that the particular
site I had a link to is slow - too many darn students maybe <grin>

According to Mike "The CD is about 700MB, so there is a lot of data to
download." - that should take about 5 minutes based on past experience.  I
abandoned the download after 1 hour - at the time it was about 15% complete!
