John,
<<Slow for everybody. That's just

I think you are confusing the issue. There are actually two programs - the
QP Downloader and QP Process (most people just recognize one because they
have it set to automatically run QP Process immediately after download).
QP Downloader downloads the updates from the QP servers. Speed here will
depend on your internet connection.
QP Process updates your local database with this download. Speed here will
depend on your system (memory, hard drive speed, CPU, etc.)
My overall time - from download (Cable/DSL connection) to finished update -
is about 5 minutes on my laptop (Pentium III 500 Mhz / 196Meg Ram / slow
laptop hard drive) and even faster (under 3 minutes) on my desktop (Pentium
III 700 Mhz / 512 Meg Ram / Ultra ATA 133 80 MB 7200 Hard Drive) - both
running Win2K.

I also have a cable-modem and it takes about five minutes for a daily
update. But note that I said download *and update*. The update takes
the same amount of time each night and it is still slow. Slow for you.
Slow for me. Slow for modem users. Slow for everybody. That's just
the nature of QP2 downloader.
