How big are the weekly datafile updates? Will they take long to download?

On average the weekly datafiles are about 2,000 KB in size and will take only about 10 minutes to download to 56 kbps, or 1-2 minutes to download on DSL or a Cable Modem (i.e., you do NOT have to go through a 17+ MB download each week). What is also nice is that because each weekly datafile is cumulative, if you should ever miss one you can be sure you’ll catch back up with the next one.
