We pre-ordered Windows 7 upgrade on June 26, and received the purchase email with instruction to download on October 22, 2009 at 8:01 AM PST. While we wanted to give Microsoft extra time to adjust the high demand to download this 2.24 GB package, we started to download at 11:00 AM PST using our home DSL line.
We experienced a slow download time during the first 50% of the package (first two hours), and it continued slowing down until it jammed at 70% (after five hours) of the package, and stopped again at 90% (after six hours). So, after six hours we have not received the online download.
