DVD-ROM Download

I tried to download the x86_64 version of the ISO image at the university due to their fast connection speed.

After 3 hours I had less than 12% of the download. During the last hour a classmate tried using BitTorrent on another machine and we couldn't get it to download fast enough to be done by closing time at the computer lab.

Be sure to allow plenty of time for this 3.6+ GB download! (BTW, I plan on using more than one spin so downloading only one of them wouldn't be an option.)

FWIW, I've downloaded the i386 and x86_64 DVD using BT at an average speed of 80KB/s per file.

I'm sitting on a 2.5M/256K cable line.
