I remember spending ONE WEEK downloading windows 98. Younger generations will never know the fun of click-and-wait and the thrill of jpgs slowly loading.

I remember downloading the last 2 episodes of Star Trek Voyager of of an FTP server through Windows XP's Explorer. 2 WMV files of 50 megabytes each. Took all night. If a single issue had happened I would have had to start the download all over, but it worked out fine!
I got DSL a few weeks later.
I remember downloading Debian 3.0 ISO images over what I think might have been ISDN. I didn't know you didn't need all six or seven CDs in order to install.
(It might also have been slow early DSL. I'm not sure when exactly this was or when the transition happened.)
I remember spending 4 hours downloading the GTA 2 demo on PC. My parents weren't happy with the phone bill later that month. But the wait was so worth it.
Waited several days to download a half life patch so I could play CS that I got on a cd.
Yeah well I got a hernia installing office ‘97 oh no read error on disc 37 of 44.
