Gonna have to bite the bullet and get off dial up.
To: 31M20RedDevil
The Intel installer is 160MB, definitely not a dial up candidate

This has to be the slowest download.... Is the server getting bombarded??
(I'm on a very fast connection.)

It's downloading quickly for me. I'm listening to the Rush show on my podcast, so not looking forward to having to reboot, but I'll survive.

LOL - you springing for Leopard when it comes out?
I'm gonna be tempted to get a new MacBook to replace the iBook... I have all my justifications ready to go.
To: CheneyChick
Worked fine/fast for me. I had the whole download in less than 7 minutes. The install took longer than the download did.
As word spreads, I would not be surprised if the servers do get hammered.
To: JohnSheppard
Guess that explains my crash when I tried to open a RAW file last night.

I may buy a new 20" iMac to replace my little gooseneck machine. My grand daughter has a late PowerPC iBook and my daughter has the last of the PowerPC iMac. Got that one at Costco late last year

2 minutes + download. Slow rebuild during restart; had half a menu bar for a couple of minutes while the computer was thinking.

I want to buy a external had drive for my grand daughter. There are some no/name 250 gig firewire drives on eBay for $100. Staples is about the only choice in Eureka and I have a eBay/PayPal account...

You can download directly. I recommend it. Use the direct download page.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (PPC) 163MB (13 hours)
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (Intel) 310MB (about 23 hours)
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Update (Intel) 160MB (13 hours)
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Update (PPC) 72MB (less than 6 hours)
I gave the times for 48Kbps dialup in parentheses. You could always start the download at bedtime. Easily doable if you already have 10.4.8 PPC for the last download I listed.
For those who may not get Leopard, I recommend getting the larger Combo updates. That way if you reinstall Tiger sometime, you can just update it from 10.4 to 10.4.9 in a single install.

10.3.9 has a new Security Patch 2007-003 available today too. 36MB.
Good to see Apple keeping security up for Panther folk.

I have two now and love 'em. I would do one thing first. I would get to an Apple Store with a list of my favorite websites - especially those with media - and test them all completely.
My only frustration with Intel Macs is that there are a few websites that are broken. I had to go back to the boneyard to get a conference call to play today.
