The Java software is a one-time only download. It will take approximately 5 minutes to download and get into the session using a cable modem or DSL connection. A dial-up connection takes considerably longer (30 minutes or more).

During the setup you will be asked to allow installation of various pieces of software. Click 'OK' to these requests.
