No. That download is an update to IE6 so it shouldnt take that long.
Computer with a 233MHz processor or higher (Pentium processor recommended)
Operating SystemWindows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
MemoryFor Internet Explorer 7:
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) - 87 MB
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition - 168 MB
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) - 87 MB
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 ia64 - 218 MB
DriveCD-ROM drive (if installation is done from a CD-ROM)
DisplaySuper VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution monitor with 256 colors
PeripheralsModem or Internet connection; Microsoft Mouse, Microsoft IntelliMouse, or compatible pointing device
Those are the Specs for the OS and hardware. Microsoft 'looks' at your PC before you can download it. But I would cancel that and do a fresh one, follow all the online instructions, and good luck.

Oh for F*CK sake I wish the Firefox fanbois around here would clap it! I am a Firefox user myself (have been since version 0.5) but IE7 is not simply a browser update, but a major Windows update as a whole...even if you don't use it directly!
Stop the download - the MS servers are probably maxing out at the moment (same thing happened with Vista Beta 2). Just give it a little while and try again - or use a download manager (try Free Download Manager) - this will automatically keep the download pipes open even if their servers max out and resume as things free up :)

IE is a bunch of crap...
Get Mozilla Firefox as it is safer(hackers....) faster (yes faster) and comes with security features

You really do not want IE 7. It is very buggy. Go with firefox. It is way better.
