If you pay for bandwidth/time it might not be. I believe that several
computers I upgraded recently downloaded about 100MB of packages. (actually,
I downloaded it to one and then copied them around on a local network) That
was on a 28k connection, but we weren't being charged per minute or per
megabyte so I just let it run overnight. That might not work for you.
