Are you sure it'll take that long to download a full 2Gb card?
Do the arithmetic, 15Mbits/s is (the key word here is bits) 15/8Mbytes per second (roughly excluding any parity bits etc) which is just under 2Mbytes per second = 120Mb per minute 2Gb\120mB is roughly 17 minutes thats without taking in to account any handhaking or parity bits etc. In practice my 15Mb/s speed card transfers slightly faster than that.
