lol i'd say a few more, but it depends, make sure thats the only thing you're doing, like dont be editing movies, or have any other prgram that will cause alot of traffic up or it will just take longer, internet shouldnt be a prob though.

what computer do you have? try stopping the extract, restarting the computer, reinstalling unrar x, then give it a go.
