If we don't like something, collectively, if our hatred for it throbs like an abscess beneath every thread, does that mean that they're doing something right?

I don't think I've ever seen an update that took me more than a couple of hours to download.
Depends on whether you count full throughput time or actual time. I've been stuck off of FFXI for a couple days once due to problems updating. Other times I've managed to get one system updated promptly and had my other system require days to get properly updated.
As a result, I now make a point of putting up a VNC Server on my desktop at home, and sshing into my local network from work so I can start the update remotely. FFXI may not work from VNC, but POL does. It's irritatingly slow, but it works.
(Note that having VNC listen to the internet in general is a potential security risk which I don't recommend unless you go into more detail in setting up authentication and encryption than I have. My preferred method is to use an SSH server on the local network to establish encrypted tunnels for VNC. A VPN solution may also make some sense. If your desktop is directly internet-facing, you might want to set up an SSH server on your desktop and configure VNC to only accept loopback connections.)
4+ hours to download for me? Man I just know I am getting booted some time during the process lol.

Holy crap 6 hours.. o.o
Well there is over 3000 files to check update and download. By the way my time went from 3.50 hours to 5.10 hours. An only 17& complete but now I am hanging on a file.
S.E fails at large updates,

It's official that SE fails at this I failed download again at 7%, and my connections fine. I may consider not going wireless just for the sake of this fragile update..
I got booted now I can't get back on. Guess I will try tomorrow./

Mine error'ed out at 2100 left. I restarted and it seems to have picked up where it left off. The time seems to keep creeping up but it seems to be faster.
