Diablo 3 Installation time

[nivek]

Hey guys
How long is it supposed to take on average?
I've had the installer running for about 15 mins and i'm only 3%
(I'm installing over a 10/100 network from a shared CDROM)
My network utilization is sitting on 15%..

I'm installing to a 7200RPM SATA drive

Is this install time normal? Or should I just copy the files to flash and install locally?

Nevermind, cancelled and going to install from flash

My installation from the DVD on the system I installed on was in excess of 15 minutes
I suspect its decompressing a lot of data... It takes forever

It took me about 25 minutes to get to 11% then the other machine went to sleep, so I figured screw it, i'm just going to install locally anyway

hope it hurries up, I want to play already

My installation from downloaded files was 30 minutes, most of which was the installer going from 1% to 22% and downloading more stuff during that stage. 23% to done was under 5.

Yea installing from local files now and its flying

edit - For the record, if anyone stumbles on this thread looking for an answer, the install time from local files is about 15 mins
