The Digital Snail Mail Experience
Ah, the classic rural internet experience—where downloads move at the speed of continental drift. At 1,638 B/s, this poor soul is getting a whopping 1.6 KB per second, meaning their 1.6 GB file will finish downloading sometime next geological era. The "12 days left" is basically the computer's polite way of saying "maybe consider writing this down on paper instead." Village internet: where you can start a download, plant a tree, watch it grow to maturity, and still come back to see it's only at 43%.

Ah, the golden age of dial-up internet, when downloading a single executable meant you could start it before dinner and hope it finished before retirement. 4.61 KB/sec transfer rate and 39 years remaining? That's not a download, that's a digital inheritance plan for your grandchildren. The best part was the download would inevitably fail at 98% because someone picked up the phone.

The eternal struggle of downloading anything on a connection so bad it can't even finish a Minecraft Wiki page. That download bar showing "5 minutes left" is the universe's cruelest joke - we all know those 5 minutes will magically transform into 10 hours, then back to 3 minutes, then "connection lost." The fact they've already canceled one download attempt is the digital equivalent of waving a white flag. Trying to game with this internet is like trying to win Formula 1 with a tricycle.
