Keep in mind, you can stop the download at any time you want.

More or less (mine is slightly bigger). If you select a different language for in game text and voice, that is downloaded additionally. Also, the game doesnt delete old content in peoples dat-file, but for some content it stops including it in a freshly installed dat-file cause it is out of date.

Keep in mind that the game is huge!
many mobile providers (depending on national laws as well) either have a hard limit to the amount of data you are allowed to us, do not allow the use of this function (and can block your internet if you do it anyways) or have a fair use policy. Best is to inform at your mobile provider if there are any restrictions. In my country it is even common to charge you big time when you use more then an allowed amount of data.

With an Iphone you should get more then 40 kbps unless you are connected through an old 2g/gprs cell. It is more likey you get atleast 3g/umts (256 kbps). This speed would bring it theoratical down to 20 hours.

If you depend on a 2g/gprs cell to download, you prolly also depend on a 2g/gprs cell to play and it will not work. The game will run far from smoothly and you will not be able to do anything at all.

I suppose you have that since beta? it has some old files and has bigger size.

A fresh new updated one should only be about 17gb

I have my dat file since bwe3, and never redownloaded it either. I got just slighty more then the others here.

I think this person downloaded some language files (on purpose or by accident).
