Our phone line was never over 30bps, usually 24bps so I downloaded a program
called Star Downloader. I would schedule all my downloads for overnight. I
had the program set up so it would dial up at 11:00 p.m., download whatever
was listed and disconnect at 06:00 a.m. It also had an option to reconnect
if the ISP dropped us offline which happened regularly.
The program is freeware and integrated well with my mozilla browser. Check
it out at http://www.stardownloader.com/index.php

P.S. I am not affiliated in any way with Star!

<< I manage only a 40 bps connection and usually it's MUCH less connect

that. It took me almost 3 1/2 HOURS to get the download completed and
installed. PLUS I can't leave my system unattended too long as my ISP
provider is like as not to disconnect me due to "perceived inactivity".
So I stick around to move the mouse once in awhile to let them know I'm
"doing something"!>>
I have the same problem, with dial-up connection at 26.1k top speed. I
would think that an upgrade over the web would only download the changed
components, and should be quite quick. 4 hours or more is just not doable
from here. (Evidently most people have fast connections, because no one
else has responded to this problem.)
