Thanks for the info. 33Mb is a bit big for a 56k modem (about 2.5 hrs).
Or have 6 months to save up for a new system:)

Guess I should have read the whole thread before replying to Cliff :-),
but it will be fast to almost anywhere in Europe, as the connection to
Finland is rather excellent, I should buy some shares in Nokia probably
:-)

I used both ISDN channels at home, Moss, and I think I had 12k + all the
time, didn't time it though as I was was watching the footy game at the
same time...:-)

Finally, a bit more discussion of the movie itself, instead of
endlessly comparing download times like they were fast laps :-)
I think it looks superb. The dynamic shadows are quite nice, and the
cars look real, with just the right amount of shine. I'm surprised
there was no smoke... hope that doesn't mean it's a performance killer
at the moment, but then again the final release is many months away.
The one thing I really like is the angle of the cars in the corners...
hard to describe, but it just looks right when compared to real NASCAR
racers slipping (not sliding) around the corners. I'm not a NASCAR
fan, but I am looking forward to this one.
