I have a feeling we'll be getting around 30kb/s, unless Gamespot have got some sort of 'mega-servers'!
Yikes!
Should the demo be 800 Mb, which I highly doubt, it'll take around 7.5 hours at 30 Kb/s.
A more realistic figure in my opinion would be 400 Mb, which will take around 4 hours then, at 30 Kb/s that is.
I don't care which it is though, cause here in Denmark it'll be 2 PM when the Demo is released, so I'll just start it and go to sleep and the next morning wake up to the finished demo.

There is a way you can get the demo without waiting 8 hrs. A simple messing around with the source file and you have the demo file. But I won't try it coz it's illegal. Better to wait.
Mess with what source file?
The wait is all about the number of downloaders, and ones connection speed.

He means access the demo now, and not have to wait the 10 hours or however long we have left.

I was looking at the Source of this page:
http://uk.gamespot.com/promos/2006/flightsimulatorx-demo/index.html
If you just tweak the countdown into thinking it's only got like 10 secs left, then after the 10 secs you get the link to download. Its simple.
I'm not telling everyone to do this by the way. I think I'll just wait. After all, it is only 8 hrs.

Cool, tell it!!
Hehe.. I'm kidding, PM me though.
(kidding again)
To be honest I actually tried to set the computers clock earlier today hoping it would work, I guess I'm not really the biggest "hacker"..

Guys, consider this...
The full FSX package will be 8GBs delivered on two DVDs...
The Demo is 800MB, which is about 10% of the full install...

Is this some sort of record for computer software? 8 gigs on 2 dvds? Im sure many of us have broken records with our own intallations (over 100 gigabytes is the biggest Ive heard people say), but an 8GB default install!?

Take a look at X-Plane's Global Terrain Package. That stuff is 60 GB.
