It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

just download with 0.6.0. should take less than 2 hours.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

It's indeed around 1.1 GiB at this point. You should have 176613 blocks at the time of writing.
