Years? What years? Shouldn't you be asking how many centuries or how
many millennia?

In fact the answer would be for ever because the Internet is growing
faster than not only what a 56K dialup modem can download but faster
than modern broadband modems can download!

Some dial-up servers have download accelerators you can use. I
thought htey woudl be a waste of time, but they double or tripled my
dl speed. If you can get one of those, it shold cut the time to dl
the entire internet substantially.

It wouldn't take long at all. The internet is really quite physically

Yep, AIOE. That's why I have a filter that tags via colorization the
posts that get injected from there. /*UN*/registered free Usenet
providers seem to draw more of those type of users.

Until a global killer meteor hits Earth.

You'll NEVER catch up at that snail's pace. And just WHERE are you
going to store all those downloads?

Feeling bored today? All that green grass out on the web to consume
your time but you come here to dump a runny turd on this lawn.
