Bandwidth

A lot of my bandwidth (when not at work, obviously) is still being consumed by the game, Oblivion.

But I had this sudden realization that my cheap, entry-level computer is 64-bit capable! so last night, I downloaded Fedora Core 8 for x86-64. Took all night.

I actually started the wget yesterday morning - yes, wget for Windows exists - but the computer powered off after only downloading 600MB, apparently there was a power interruption during the day.



So my download took all night. Which is amazing! I'm paying $25 per month for Globe's entry-level consumer DSL. And it took only all night to download an entire 3.7GB DVD image.
