Most may not view waiting while their otherwise-idle computer downloads these files as much of a price, though. And for most of us, I believe if you start now, you can download most of the files on those DVD's before they could arrive in the mail (not counting if you pay extra to express them). One other thing to consider is that as more people participate, the downloads will go faster. Cheers, Chuck
