I remember downloading the 4.52 Server installer which was around 30 megabytes; but that was back in 2001 or so and we had to use an ISDN-64 line... that took more time than the 500 meg downloads of today... back then Remedy did provide some executable to perform the download for these very same reasons; but I hated it...
