Trying to download Windows 8.1 through the online store. (only way you'll get it) 

Been running for an hour now and it's only downloaded 10%!!!!!

Best download speed I'm getting from my 100Mbit/sec connection is 20 - 50 Kbits second!!!!

WTF in Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to distribute a 2.8GB update to windows 8 by the Online store?????

Should sack the idiot!!!!

To be completely honest I have one thing to say - Take a chill pill.

You're not the only person on the planet who thought downloading Windows 8.1 would be a great idea. You only need to look at the impact the recent iOS7 update had on bringing the internet to a crawl to realise the impact such major updates have.
