Ahhh, the lure of free software, the natural curiosity of the
slightly unknown...seems we spend the majority of our waking online
hours waiting for the dreaded DOWNLOAD. Might as well make use of
the time.
Of course, savvy users have already figured out it ain't hard to
keep two platforms busy at once, kind of like the guy spinning
multiple plates on sticks, the more the merrier - and busier!
But the other 99% of us, relegated to one computer at a time, should
consider the following things to do during a download to pass the
time...

Make a list of other things to download
Play a percussive beat on your thighs in time with your modem
