I can think of another disadvantage to downloading something that big: you really want a CD burner if you want to be able to change the computer that you play the game on. I've used KoDP on at least 3 machines: home, work (only at lunch, honest!), and on a lap top I took to a conference. The lap top was a bit of a pain because it's little modem card was so slow I couldn't usefully download the patch, and the patch was too big for a floppy, so I had to play version 1.0.
In short, count my hand in the air in favor of getting a CD. Then again, I'm old and follilized by computer game standards.
