... and just about every major OS out there with "service packs" (or a lot of security updates). I had ~300MB up updates in Ubuntu the other day, and a few weeks ago I updated a MacOSX for about the same amount. [/offtopic]

Yes the most I had with Ubutu though is 742 MB lol that one took a while. (fresh install)

Hehe, try installing Ubuntu 8.10 from 7.10 over the Canadian mirror! That bloody thing runs at a nice speed of anywhere between 8 kB/s to 28 kB/s. Switched to the USA main server connection after that. Now I'm up to my good ol' speed of 310 kB/s.

Speaking of updates, guess what happened after installing some "critical updates" from M$ last night? I booted up the laptop this morning and got a BSOD of the species "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"! Fack! So it gave me "do ye wanna pull out the startup repair shotgun?" question, I said yes, and it ran through twenty minutes of progress bars before starting up normally. It also seems to load faster too!

@Dex That would be cool
