It shouldn't take that long
Even at the slowest broadband (DSL) of 500kbs 85mb should take 28
minutes
500kbs/sec is around 50k bytes per second
85mb = 85000 kbytes
Divide that by 50 you get 28.3 minutes
I just tried it, it took me 90 seconds
4 hours for 85mb equates to a download speed of 60kb/s
No broadband (DSL) is that slow
A couple of days ago I downloaded an 988mb file in 20 minutes
I don't understand why anyone struggles on with dial-up
Broadband is the same price or cheaper than dial-up with no call
charges
And your phone line stays free

Thanks Colin,
I am on broadband and the download time takes 4 hours as it is
85MB. I hope it will work.

I used a link from the linked page (if you follow) - first the

men in white shirts (a band?) marked "Festival folk etc". Then on
the page
that opens, there are two zip files (both "concionero" in their
titles).
Alas my PC crashed overnight so I haven't downloaded them but, I
presume,
one of them is what you want.

Cancionero_Musical_de_Galicia.zip
http://www.fbarrie.org/fundacion/descarga/294/Cancionero_Gallego.zip
I am hoping the first one is the one we want (judging by the size).
I'll try
the download tonight.
If anyone knows for certain, please post for us poor dial-ups.
Oh, I recommend the Midi files.

Hi everybody,
I checked all the links but most for them had books for sale, one
linkt
couldn't find any of the files "*X:1 not found in
http://thesession.org/tunes/display/6961";, *the* *Galician link
operates in
3 languages including English, but I could not find a download
button. So
what am I missing? Which link allows downloading files?
