I managed to get it downloaded, but it did take around 3 1/2 to 4 hours...I'm on a T3 here at work. ~ Starr

I have a pretty fast DSL connection, and when I try to download it here in the US, the data transfer rate maxes out at about (ready?)... 3kb per second! Estimated download time, approximately 12 hours. Other downloads seem to take my computer about one to three seconds per Mb. So I will blame the foreign server and move on ! :) ~ Matt At 03:20 PM 8/22/2007, you wrote: 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 Graham -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ]On Behalf Of Christa Muths Sent: 22 August 2007 19:24 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [HG] Galician and Asturian Music Thanks Colin, I am on broadband and the download time takes 4 hours as it is 85MB. I hope it will work.

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. http://www.fbarrie.org/fundacion/descarga/294/Cancionero_Musical_de_Gali cia.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.
