Ok everybody.
I am downloading now. I have a 1mbps connection. Normally I get dl speeds from 70-100k or so. It is going between 30-40k about 65% of the time. 30% of the time it is getting down in the 20's or lower. The other 5% it actually go's up over 50. lol. It's showing me at 13% complete of the first 600+ mb file w/ between 4-5hrs to go! What the Heck? Normally I can DL a 500mb file in a little over an hour.

So, unless everyone is still getting it like they were at the start (in the middle of the night, no less), I'd guess that smithmicro's downloader is crap.

I should have ordered the hardcopy. It probablly would have arrived sooner than this DL will!
