Rob:

Bandwidth is bandwidth. Actually, the 64 bit version is about 3.5GB.
Don't know about others but I always download/install both versions. So
for people like me, stopping 64-bit makes a lot of difference.

Fortunately, thanks to this newsgroup, I was able to get them both in
about 3 hours last Thursday, before the servers became overloaded.
