--Actually it may take a bit longer than that. Even with the best 56k modems you have to take into account line conditions and such. You're lucky to get anywhere from 4 to 6 KB/sec with already-compressed data. I calculated it out once and it came out to more than a day and a half. And that's if you have a continuous connection. If you attempt to download 700MB over a 56k dialup you better have that modem set to auto-redial.
