When I was in college I was on 128Kbps connection which used to take
some 16-18 hrs to download a 700MB ISO.

I made full use of it. Now I don't order since I have 2Mbps connection.
If anyone is in Bangalore and has poor internet connection, then I
can provide them with CDs - any *supported* version.
