I think I know what he means. When I first downloaded legacy I was also on dialup - it took me three nights to find a dialup connection stable enough to get through the download - and several hours to download it. You have to be dedicated to genealogy at times.
It is a problem with most programs anymore but for many, dialup is almost the only option unless they are independently wealthy. It took a move to a different city before I finally got decent internet access. I dreaded anything that said download it via the internet because I knew what it meant.
