How long will 650mb take to download on 56k if I leave it downloading for 4 hours a night :confused:

Or can anyone tell me where I can get Mandrake Linux 8.1 for less than AU$20 or even better send it to me? (by post that is) ;)

At what speed are you downloading?

Anyway, my guess is that it'll take you 40 hours.

Got to a newsagency and get the Linux pocket book which has both Red Hat and Mandrake disks with it. I found mine in the Computer mags area.

Cost when I bought mine $19.95 :)

Easier than waiting for a download!

I've been to a couple of newsagencies and I couldn't find it, and that is Mandrake 8.0 but I'd prefer 8.1 to make sure everything is compatible with my system.

Interesting, around 30 hours.. that isn't too bad.

Probably not as long as it took me to download a 670MB file on Morpheus :D.
