Thanks for finding my error, Cory. I suspected that something 
wasn't right. But this 2.2 hours is a theoretical maximum. My
actual download time today for a 1234 KB file was 413 seconds.
That's ( 1234 KB * 8 kb/KB ) / 413 seconds = 23.9 kb/second.
At that rate the 28 MB download would only take 2.7 hours. I
think I'll give it a try. If it comes in under three hours it
will be amazing; I remember big files in the past taking much
longer. I'll keep track and let you know how it goes. -Dexter
