| | Re: Downloading RC2 now... That (512KB/sec) is 2 seconds per megabyte. The file is about 2.5 gigabytes (2,500 megabytes). should take about 5,000 seconds, which is only about 2 hours. And, indeed, on my cable modem the download was showing about 400KB/sec, and it took a bit, but not much, over 2 hours. My guess is that your speed is 512Kb/sec, not 512KB/sec. Eight times slower (but still more than 10x faster than dialup).

| | Re: Downloading RC2 now... Our cable was averaging around 500KB, but sometimes went up to 560KB, and sometimes went down to 400KB. Once, I got nervous because it went way down to 40KB a second and I thought that I was going to lose my connection to the download, but after two or three minutes, it went back up to 400KB/sec+.
