The time required to download a file to your computer depends on the size of the file, the file type, and the speed of your internet connection.

Typical download rates for a 3 minute MP3 music track of 3.5MB size are:
28.8k modem = 20-25 mins
56.6k modem = 10-15 mins
ISDN = 5-10 mins
Cable / DSL / T1 = less than 1 min

Your internet service provider can also provide you with information about the speed of your connection.
