Yeah. I had a feeling the Lion DLs would be slow on Day 1. Apples servers were being hammered

I downloaded it somewhere around 1:00 PM, and I finished it about 3:00. What surprises me is that I didn't install it until 7:00 PM.. 
Moving from a moderately-sized city to a small town has entailed many compromises. Horrible internet service amongst them. Gawd my DSL service is glacial
Using low-end DSL (up to 768 Kbps), download completed in about 13.5 hours. I was using the internet quite a bit during that time so it probably would've taken less time if it had the full bandwidth to itself.
