    The download and install time varies, but about a couple of hours at max. After doing clean installs on my machines since mountain lion, I now diconnect the router and plug the wire directly into the ethernet port; this decreases the download and install time as a whole, but not the install time by itself.

    Thanks so much, Victoryhat!!  My download was 4 hours and the install was 22 minutes.  I am now 'good to go.'
