If all files are present, such as on a Newsgroup, it takes me about all of 30-45 minutes.

vfrkid,
Hi. It's not just the speed of the connection at your end - where you're downloading from also makes a huge difference, i.e. from a far-away country with many, many people trying to get at the file at once. Do you have a "download accelerator" such as Go!zilla or Getright? You resume downlaods at any time, the computer can re-connect to the server if you loose the connectiona and you can "segment" a download if the server allows (download the file in seperate chunks - speeds up slow downloads). Never give up! Happy trails.
