You can try Netants. This is a program that is meant to speed up downloading by opening multiple simultaneous connections with the server for seperate chunks of the download. While that would speed up your download a little bit, the feature you need is the resumable download. Otherwise, check out tucows.com, and there should be a ton of downlaod managers. Lastly, you could always send one of your fellow piclisters (such as me) $2 to burn a cd for you, or visit a friend with a cable modem or dsl... Or even your local university/college (Washtenaw Community College, for instance (Ann Arbor, MI) has guest accounts for internet usage, and CD burning machines available in the library. ) -Adam John Ferrell wrote: >I am soliciting suggestions to download this package.
