I just got my playbook! Yes I'm very excited but I hope I can play with it before 4 1/2 hours! Is that normal(on wifi)? Damn it was so hard to wait this long....
It did seem to take forever to dload it for me, but I might have been having dsl or wifi issues also. I bet that because the PB is so quick to notify about a new update and it can be pulled OTA, that their servers are getting crushed.
I'd have to estimate - it was definitely slow going so I just left it alone and came back - more than an hour for the download. Install was also not that fast since I was around for a bit while it was occurring and the progress bar was NOT racing across the screen.
Half an hour for me and I'm on a slower connection. First one though did take close to an hour, but that was on launch day and their servers must of had a lot of people downloading at the same time.

That sucks, you probably had a week connection. Also, despite the thing being out only 2 months, you probably had to download each previous update... although it was probably you're connection anyway. Each update hasn't taken me longer than 10 minutes at most.
