Where I live I can only get dialup; to download anything these days I have to go to a wifi spot.
Just now I'm downloading the 1 GB Epson Printer Drivers from Apple's downloads page; despite being the only customer in the place, Firefox estimates the download will require 18 hours. I have a Facebook friend who lives in West Africa. He has decent connectivity but only from a cybercafe. He has no way to save his own documents because no one sells flash drives there. There are many places in the world where one can get online with a smartphone but again have no way to save any documents they download. When I was the Product Development Manager for Working Software I kept twelve people employed despite that I only had a 40 MB hard drive.
