Only 1 hour 4 minutes to go. Been online downloading IE 5.0 for 1 hour 58 minutes so far. I sure hope this is worth it, with the amount each of us made on MSFT stock today, we should all just order the CD from MSFT.

I would have ordered the CD but I didn't want to wait six to eight weeks for delivery. I downloaded IE 5.0 last night using the "custom install" mode that allows you to download for later install. I selected most of the components available and was told that it would take about 3:40 at 28.8 (I have a V.90 so it should have been about 2/3 that). I started at about 11:55 PM MST. When I went to bed just after midnight the downloader told me I had 6:15 left to go. It was complete this morning when I checked at 7 AM so I don't know how long it actually took.
