just my 2c
it took 5h 30m for the 56.8 meg file it came down w/o a glitch and
during the internet peak hours......not bad at all
interesting is since the introduction of osx the size of updates went
straight to 50 meg

But 58.8MB! What's Apple trying to do, single-handedly kickstart the
broadband industry?
Well I suppose the alternative is 40-odd floppy disk images...
Anything over 2Mb is a hassle without broadband, but this has been the
dilemma with computing since they went from 16K to 64K of RAM.
Software code expands to fill the space available. It always has and
it always will. The answer has always been to buy more space. Now you
need to buy more speed.
But really, we are WAMUG after all. I'm sure that those of us with
suitable technology will be happy to help fellow members who are
unable to get broadband. I for one be happy to supply MacOS X 10.3.3,
or any other large download for that matter, to any member by personal
request.
