Let’s consider a “decent” Internet speed of 200 mb/a. That’s 25 MB/s so it’d take 1,600 seconds to download 40,000 MB. That’s 26 minutes, so nearly half of your time is gone. Plus there is always time spent doing something like “installing”, checking the files, or whatever other stuff needs to be done besides just downloading the raw content.
Also, you don’t always get 100% of your advertised Internet speed 100% of the time.
Your general point still stands, mind you, I was just curious about it and figured others might like the info too 😉
Quite shocked that Sweden doesn’t rank any higher though. They have or used to have the second most total fiberoptic bandwith in the world after the US which has roughly 30 times the population spread out on 22 times the area…
Is there no decent ISP where you live?

200Mb/s? What are you using, a 4G+ modem?
Average USA internet speed: 99.3 Mb/s
Average UK internet speed: 50.4 Mb/s
Average EU internet speed: 103.3 Mb/s
Average Japan internet speed: 42.8 Mb/s
Average South Korea internet speed: 110.6 Mb/s
Average Canada internet speed: 99.8 Mb/s
200 Mb/s is far above the average in any country on the planet.
In those countries and the EU in general, sure, but not every country
