Title: How Long?
Post by: tinfoil on June 04, 2008, 12:27:25 pm

How long should it take to install fso because it took me almost 5 hours on a 150 mbps connection

If you downloaded everything the installer has to offer, that doesn't sound unreasonable. Regardless of how fast your own connection is, you'll always be limited by the upload speed of the host, which I'm quite sure isn't anywhere near 150mbit/s... and it's a LOT of data if you go for the whole package.

Wrong.

And it's about 5 GB for a full install.

At 150 KB/s,w hich I assume is what you mean, about 6-8 hours.

At least you can pause the install, then continue again later on.
