Yes! Thanks.

would that I had a friend with faster internet than me, a decent thought though. Anyways I have a new question.....can I download during maintenance? Or would that screw it up? PS: I made it past the main assets all the way into english assets

Yeah three days is a decent estimate for mine actually. I think I should make it in two at this rate though .

Very good work on the guide. It's excellent and informative. Thank you .

Yup. About to go to bed myself but before I do....I just cleaned up my windows 7 system, and my speed is now a slow, slow speed of 180kbps vs my previously pathetic 40kbps :DDDD. Thank you all for the intelligent and thoughtful answers. I'm heading to bed.

How long did it take for you to finish the update? Because mine would be over 48 hours at this rate....I've finished about .10 gig of main assets in the last hour :(:(:(:(

hmmm thank you. In light of that advice I think I'll follow a guide on here for streamlining windows 7, maybe that'll help.

Regrettably my question was not hypothetical I bought the online copy already T.T. Still considering my current download speed is at 37kbps (something is terribly terribly wrong) I'm considering buying a hard copy real seriously.

Honestly...I was afraid of that. I wish I had realized that my speed was so poor prior to buying the game. However I appreciate the detailed reply. Might run across you online in 39+ hours .

1.42mbs download speed according to speedtest.net? And if its possible does anyone have a decent estimate as to how long it will take?
