I can't recall how big the core download was but maybe 20-30 megabytes. I used to get about 15megs and hour downloading on a 56 k modem. I used Flashget for downloading things as it split the file into streams which all tended to download at close to my normal downloading rate at the same time. So instead of my normal 1.5 k/sec i was at like 4 k/sec. Even now with cable I get like 500k/sec instead of 100 k/sec [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

unfortunately I think it stopped being a free program (used to have ads) but I luckily retained my older version. I'm not sure if you can use this on the PI7 download though.
