This is giving me a flashback to the time when I was still on dialup (the off-campus dorm I lived at had a shitty shared cable connection that was often slower or less reliable than dialup) and spent about three days downloading Half Life 2 on launch.

It wasn't until a few weeks later that I realized I could take my laptop to campus, download it over their incredibly fast WiFi, and then transfer the files to my desktop that had a decent GPU.
