Sort of. I was far from a child, but I can remember downloading the latest version of Netscape over a dial up connection.

I would set it going, then go for a long walk to have dinner at a Chinese takeout.

What I do remember as a kid would be sending away for packages and looking at the mailbox everyday for a month after school until the package finally came.
