1. Install Ubuntu 10.10.
2. Run "update-manager -c -d".
3. Advance to the "Do you want to start the upgrade?" step.
What you see: Something like "You have to download a total of 1,102M. This download will take about 2 hours 20 minutes with a 1Mbit DSL connection and about 1 day 18 hours with a 56k modem."
It's likely that some people still use Ubuntu on dial-up, but giving an estimate this way makes Ubuntu look old. We should find a more sensible way to present the estimate, for example, showing the 56k version only if you *do* have a 56k connection.
