Takes even less depending on your system. LM Studio or Lemonade and you are set up in minutes and now they can even tell you what models will fit with the memory you have.

And it would be in seconds if models weren’t that large and slow-ish to download! LM studio is such a noob friendly experience, pretty neat first experience!

At least for the most part, if you are downloading from huggingface, you should be able to saturate your connection. I know I usually can pretty easily even with a 5gig connection at home.
