I am stuck with SuSE 10.3 . I happen to have little time next week and would like to update my computer. I wonder how long it will take to download SuSE laest version using an ADSL line advertized as 7Mb which is in reality 1.3 Mb.
Notice that that 7 Mb reads as 7 Mbit, not 7 Mbyte, and it also means, in ISPs parlance, usually maximum speed, not real, sustained speed. You can calculate the download time easily. It it downloads, say, at 500 Kbyte/s, and the image has, say, 4 GB (not 4 GiB), it would take a minimum of 8000 seconds, ie, 2.22 hours. Use a metalink client, such as aria2c, to optimize your download speed. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
