The image took me 19 hr to download.

The download instruction page states "The full mosaic image file is in an ECW format. You can view this product with a free viewer called ER Viewer...

ECW is Enhanced Compressed Wavelet. developed by ERMapper. The image was compressed using ECW because it was pieced together using ERMapper. 3.2 GB fits nicely on a DVD.

Has anyone else downloaded the image? How long did it take?
