That speed is sufficient, it just has a lot of transactions to get caught up...

Terminated.
OK, if I shut off my computer, will it have to start from the very beginning or does it start where it leaves off?
Where it leaves off. It would not make sense to start over each time.

bitcoin-qt starts where it left off, pretty much.

use multibit. If you use bitcoin-qt it will take many weeks to fully sync.

Yes. You will spend more time having the client verify the blocks. That will be CPU-bound. Expect it to take 5+ days.

Windows 7, I've had it running for the past hour, but its showing the 'no internet' icon in the bottom right corner of the wallet. Is there something else I have to do?

Edit: Windows 7 enterprise 64 bit edition

Hello, my current ISP is providing 1.5 MBPS, but when I run my bitcoin wallet, it doesn't automatically sync. IS 1.5 MBPS too slow to sync bitcoin wallets?

You should be fine. What OS? Version? How long have you left it running? Etc. :-)

I'm not an expert, but I think that should be fine.  It always takes a very long time to sync a wallet, but it should get there eventually.
