Geoff, I'm downloading the DVD torrent version. I started 2 minutes ago and the average speed here is 250-350Kbyte per second, so at least according to my Azureus, it will take ~3 hours 20 minutes to download the 3.33GB DVD ISO. Why don't you just use the torrent and by morning you'll have your DVD ISO ready to use?
I'm using ADSL (5Mbit package) and connected to Netvision. Thanks, Hetz On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 10:45 PM, Geoffrey S.
