I have done that in the past for dial up downloads. As for my connection I considered that, but sadly though I am an insomniac which means I am up all night especially on the weekend which means I have to keep busy with other things if I download the iso.

Still interesting feed back I have gotten so far.

Thanks again to all who post.

OK depends on your download speed and how fast the server is.
If your bandwidth is 1.5 Mbps or Mega BIT per second down you're
capable of a download speed of  192 KBPS or Kilo BYTE per second
download.  For a 700MB file you're talking about 3,734 minutes or
1.04 hours.  The first 2 isos are approximately 700MB while the
third is less at about 460MB.  So plan on about 2.5 to 3 hours to
download.
Um, in my neighborhod 3734 minutes is about 62.2 hours, or 2.6 days.
that's a pretty slow connection.

On my Verizon Bronze account it takes about 8 hours to upload 3 CD
sized iso images. Do it before going to bed, and there is no waiting.

On the side of the software box, in the 'System Requirements' section,
it said 'Requires Windows 95 or better'. So I installed Linux and
lived
happily ever after.
