That's a pretty nice article. The link to frozentech I had never seen before. That's some collection opf links! Too bad they say
They are free, but take several hours to download, even with broadband.
because this is not true. It takes me 20-25 minutes to download a 700M.iso over a cable connection. I would imagine that the author used IE to download an image but people 'in the know' would never do such a silly thing because you should never download anything with IE except windows updates and your next spyware application. A download manager like getright or otherwise is a much better choice for those still bound by windows. Of course for Linux we have wget and prozilla.

That's some connection you have!
Around here (Canada) most cable connection have a speed of 100-120 Kbps, takes about 2-3 hrs for 700Mb. My own connection is a cheaper package at 25 Kbps, takes about 8-10 hours for a disk. Time depends on how often it stalls out & has to wait to reconnect.

I supose it all depends on your ISP and the server you're downloading from. Mine ISP claims that I have 3M down but to be honest I don't know of any place that I can actually use it.
