Hello,
There are 3 CDs (unless you're getting the pirated full 7 CD set :-) ). I
only have 2 CDs, but that's because I got it on magazine cover discs.
Time needed for first 2 CDs, per CD:
700 * 1024 * 8 / download speed. Remember ISPs report in kilobits, not
kilobytes.
So for my 56kb dialup:
700 * 1024 * 8 / 56 = ~ 30 hours each
For the 450mb, 24 hours. So 75 hours all up on 56kb.
128kb = 33 hours
256kb = 16 hours
512kb = 8 hours
100MB: 2 minutes :-)
Regards,
_nasturtium
PS: OK, so a lot of people have responded. But you won't receive much from me
now that I'm back to school.
