SP2 can be anywhere from about 70 MB to over 200 MB in size. Your internet
connection and the size of the update for your system will determine the
length of time it takes to download SP2. If you have a dialup connection
you are in for an all day session. For comparison, my DSL connection is
256k. I can download a 1.0 MB file in about 40 seconds, on average. It
would take me about 67 minutes to download a 100 MB file.
