For those of you have tried it out already, what's your opinion on it so far? I haven't gotten a chance to to download it yet but I will sooner or later. I was just curious to see what others thought, for the time being.

Gah, I gave up on downloading it. It's going at 200kb/s for a 200+ mb file. My PC reckoned an estimated time of 12 hours!

You should have downloaded it man, because clearly your computer had been smoking crack to think it would take that long. 200mb is nothing I download 175MB files nearly every day for 30min tv shows from the states at rates of about 400kbs, they take about 10mins to download.
