How long does it take to install the app Garageband for iPad?

I installed the app garageband but it took very long I installed it from about 7:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Is this a problem with my iPad or computer or is this normal?

iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3

definitely should not take this long to download. I have had this same problem with apps before. If you will click the app, that may cause it to get going again. Also you may delete the app and reinstall it. This will not charge you a second time!

That is an extraordinarily long time to download a 369MB app - IMO. However there are other factors to consider - your Internet connection speed, how busy the server is, how many others are trying to download it. But even with all of those factors taken into consideration, that is way too long - at least compared to my experiences.

I downloaded and installed the iOS 5 update - restored the iPad and all of the content - signed up for my icloud.com account - all in about 90 minutes - on the evening that the update was released.

Maybe I have been spoiled by my ISP and the fast connection that I have at home.
