The Institute for Scientific Information is conducting research in many 
different aspects of the internet.  One of the areas I've been 
researching is retrieval of information, i.e. downloading, from the Web. 
 As we look to make information available via the Web, we are 
investigating what the Internet user community accepts as a reasonable 
file size for downloading or retrieval.  

Have you or your colleagues conducted any user surveys, or have you 
researched this aspect of the internet?

I look forward to your response,
