4gb is such a relative term. Who knows exactly what the size of the download will be. It could be 4.2 GB. If you are not 1 of those people who has to have it the day it is released, I'm almost willing to bet that there will be enough noise made that Apple will have to put it on a DVD for people to purchase. Just give it a little time. I don't think people are ready for such a large download. Imagine, if you have a standard T1 speed on your DSL connection. Assuming the download speed is steady at the maximum throughput, it will take close to 8 hours to download 4GB.
