A whole desktop system update (download, extraction, installation) didn't require more than 15 minutes.

Before you can check for a solution to a problem, you need to identify the actual problem. Is it within your network, or is some server you're downloading from too slow? This should be easy to find out if you provide some information, for example, which mirror you're using, the exact command you use to update, and so on. Also keep in mind that if you're performing your update at the same time many other users are doing it, the individual speed will of course go down. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
