While it's nice to be able to click Buy and get a copy of software, I could have driven over to the Apple store to buy this stuff (on DVD or a USB stick or whatever) about 6 times in the 4 hours that this download is taking. Holy moly.
be glad you are not on a 640kbps copper DSL line like mine, on which the 4.4GB 10.8 installer would be about a 16 hour download
i have also read that you can use the wifi at an Apple Store to download the installer (presumably faster); i will probably do this when i upgrade from 10.7
given that you have slowish internet service, you might want to follow this tip about how to preserve the downloaded installer for reuse:
