Good points. I was just considering the option (since no one ever uses it apart from a very very few .ISO creators). However, I can't help but feel sometimes that we're forgetting that some people are still on dialup. 1 MB is indeed not the end of the world, but anything more substantial can indeed be unobtainable except for the "elite" on DSL. :-/

Quick poll: anybody here still use dialup or otherwise slow connection?
