I get about 500 to 550 MB's/hour from decent sites with a
1.5Megabit adsl line (~150K/sec). DSL connections also vary quite a
bit, from half my speed to almost twice as fast. The mirror you use,
and how many 'stalls' (mirror server pauses) you encounter are gonna
be as big a factor as the speed of your connection. I guesstimated
that the stalls added about 10 mins. to each iso I recently d/l'd (3
x 650mb). Best way to minimize stalls is to use a d/l manager like
d4x and d/l all the iso's simultaneously. Unfortunately all the iso's
I recently d/l weren't on the mirror yet, so I had to get 'em one at
a time as they appeared. Worst way is to use a browser to d/l.
