How long will it take to download a QB image via FTP?
QuickBird images can be very large, so it is important to know the quality of your internet connection (download speed and reliability), before ordering electronic delivery via FTP. For example, a QuickBird image of 1 GB (e.g. 120 Km2 of Natural Colors Pans-harpened at 8 bit and 60 cm GSD) can be downloaded in little more than 1 hour if you have a 2 MB/sec connection, or in more than 40 hours if you have a 56 KB modem.
