I can't tell if you want to know
"How long does it take to get data from Earth to Jupiter?"
or
"How long does it take a spacecraft to go from Earth to Jupiter?".
(They have very different answers).

∙ 11y agoIt takes a space probe an average of 5 years to reach Jupiter- the latest one, Juno, was launched on 5th August 2011 and will not reach the Jovian system until 2016. (Even light takes 3 hours to reach us from Jupiter!!)
However, this is by unpowered flight- as soon as the probes are thrust into space and released from their launch vehicles, they are left to carry on under their own impetus (there being no gravity or atmosphere in space, there is nothing to slow them down, so they just carry on flying at the same speed as they were travelling at when launched).
In the future, it may be that new methods of powered space-flight will enable the travel-time to Jupiter to be greatly reduced. Obviously, this cannot be done now, nor will it be possible for some time- no rocket could carry enough fuel to accelerate it all the way to Jupiter and back again. But it's possible that decades hence, new forms of engine will be developed- one idea is to use atomic engines in spacecraft, that propel the vessels along via a continuous stream of carefully controlled and directed nuclear explosions. This would certainly speed up space travel a great deal- the problem would be slowing down once you reached your destination! The ship would have been being blasted along at such force that you'd need retro-atomic motors to brake, otherwise you'd just have to slingshot round the planet and come straight home again without even having had a proper look at it!
Ion-drive motors are theoretically possible, but have yet to be developed and tried out, which may not happen for a Century or more. Other types of drive system, such as Photon Drive, remain science-fiction for the time being.
