Service Packs & Subscription

I have been trying twice to download sp4.0 for SWX 2008 andin the end just gave up.
Even when selecting the bare minimum, the download is over 1.6Gb...
Two hours into the download, and only 8% in the progress bar!.
And no, it's not dial up!

I have just put a request to my VAR, asking if they could provide advd with the service pack on it. I'll see if it gets done...

But does anyone think it would be reasonable to ask SWX and/or theVAR to offer this service to their customers, as part of the yearlySubscription?
Here in OZ, we pay over A\$2500 per year, despite an A\$ almost onpar with the US\$. I don't know how much the VAR gets out of this,but one would think that for a small cost (40 cents dvd!), theycould offer this,if requested.

The way I see it, the service packs are only going to get worse asfar as the size is concerned!

Any comments?SolidworksGeneral
