“A real 24bit flac takes longer to download than play” if you have dialup maybe. I don’t think you can even legally call it “broadband” if your internet is slower than a flac bitrate

Downloads depend on the server as well as the client. I can say for certain that I've never been able to download a 24 bit flac album in less than 30 minutes, usually over an hour.
