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.

The NET CD doesn't take very long to download, since it's only about 1/4 of a full CD. Use that to install, and only the packages you want to install get downloaded, so the overall time is less, unless you need to install to more than one computer or otherwise expect to install multiple times. -- "Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle."

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.
