They've entered an extended download sequence in the schedule. Last I heard, 90% of the encounter data remains to be downloaded, but the data rates from that extreme distance is only 1 to 4kbps.:

The original estimate was that it would take at least six months to download.

Actually, it could take up to 16 months for the full download. It's a pretty narrow pipe at 2-4 Kbps.

Ya know, this kind of stuff is amazing. The tech it takes to get these kind of pics to us just astounds me ! I showed the wife and got a hoo-humm---might be time to find a new wife !!

Here is a link to a story with more pictures. "Back in the day" stuff like this would be big news on tv and school. Sadly, today, not so much.
