Err, try something like a minimum of 8 hours, up to a maximum of 22
hours. At least, given the primitive UK telephone system, where domestic
customers are not allowed ISDN, there is no such thing as access to
cable modems, and the copper wire telephone system cannot be trusted to
remain stable for a long enough continuous period to download even one
part of the show.

That's certainly my experience here; it takes about 6 to 10 minutes to
download 1 meg, so 135 meg takes 810 to 1350 minutes; hence 8 hours
minimum, 22 hours maximum.

Cheers,

John
