I had the retail so I didn't have to deal with the massive download time. I actually had it installed long before F2P happened for the game.

Here's some beginner tips:
Do all starter missions so you can get acquainted with the game mechanics
Join any society so they can help you with questions and get ships for discount prices
Don't enter ports under contention and risk losing your ship
Don't activate PvP flag until you feel you have a good ship that can handle the gunfire

And how big is the download file anyway? I bet it's quite a few gigs.
