How long is it taking you to download ML?

It still says "Waiting" - waiting for what?
I'm estimating that it should take about 97 weeks and 3 days to download on a 0.00001 bit per hour connection, should be all right!
I have a 20+Mbps connection and it downloaded in about 35 minutes. That's about half my real world max speed (4MB/s).
Is there a way to see how long the download is going to take from LaunchPad (since I already have Lion installed)?
I don't think it's really downloading it the progress bar hasn't moved and it's been "downloading" for an hour now

Oh, thank you!
It says it's "Waiting "
There are a dozen factors that may or may not contribute to that. Local content providers, your modem, your router, your ISP, etc. Hopefully it'll start and soon you can enjoy your $20 upgrade
What machine were you using? I am considering install on a 2010 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz an am worried it might be slow?
I am on BT Infinity (super fast internet to those not from the uk) and my download speeds on an online tester is 68mbps. But ML is taking forever, it says 8 hours 11 mins and it isnt fluxuating alot. so looks like im gonna be waiting a while
EDIT:
Holy Mackerel! I unplugged my thunderbolt adapter and used wifi and now it says 10 mins left

Sat "Waiting…" for about two hours, then logged out, unplugged my firewire LaCie drive that has a Time Machine backup on it (which causes me loads of problems with system hang-up), logged back in, and then it started downloading right away

Not done yet
I am stuck on DSL. Not so hot for speed. I am an hour and a half in and have just about 1.5gb downloaded so far. I am figuring it's gonna take me about 4 hours total for the download.

It started downloading when I "purchased" it again (but it said I already own it so it won't charge me) but that started the download after I left my computer for 3 hours and all it did was go to sleep and do nothing.
Now it estimates 1 hour remaining, but it's been at it for many hours now and it always said 1-2 hours, so I doubt it will be done within an hour… Slow as hell!
