I want to know why it took over six hours to download IE 4.0 from the 'Net! It is 15,850K, it estimated my 28.8 connection would do this in just over three hours. My calculator said 28.8 Kbps divided into 15,850Kb would be accomplished in 550.34722222 seconds. And since the last time I checked there were still 60 seconds in a minute...I decided to divided again, yes 60 into 550.34722222 and got a grand total of 9.172453703704 minutes! The last time I checked that was less then 10 minutes....NOT A WHOLE TRADING DAY FOR CHRIST SAKE!! Bill Gates!!! UP FRONT ON THE DOUBLE!!! Now Billy boy...can you say x2? I hate to admit it, but I really don't understand why it takes so long...unless those download servers are putting you on hold while they download a little here and a little there....then a little more over here...I think you get the picture! It may have been faster if I used my doorstop 9600!
