Jos,
My first download was pretty quick... then got faked out during the install by the new concept in progress bars... just let the indicator run left to right pretty fast making you thing it's almost done with the next download step.. but instead just wrap around and run back across the screen again and again and again... with no indication of how many times it's going to run it's little dance across the meter...
>Just as a test I downloaded it in the UK - 2 mins. I think MS and Google have 90% of all the bandiwidth in the world :)
