I've got the same issue (although I'm not going to buy the game immediately as it is released, so I could simply order it as a CD), but if you have a separate phoneline and a download manager (GetRight, for example), that problem would be easy to negotiate. If it is one gig, as I would guess, it should take (at a download speed of 4KB) about 3 days straight (69 hours). Still better than waiting for it in the mail, I suppose, especially if you're not in the US.

Short answer....yes. But your real throughput is likely to be in the 7-8K range. Probably will take 12-14 hours or so if the file size is in the neighborhood of 500MB. Take solice though, I've spent the last three days downloading Vis Studio 2005 Beta and MSDN July 2004..... I'm used to long downloads. Just start it when you go to work Friday and when you get home, read the mail, newspaper, eat dinner, talk to the wife for a bit....whalla! It's done!

Man, you're a glutton for punishment. Beta testing VS 2005! Yech...
