The suggestion to use Curl is fine, but no matter what happens, it means you're not going to be able to do anything useful on the internet for the next three days trying to download it. What I did, was I e-mailed OSDisc.com and asked them about making me a DVD of whatever it was I wanted (they normally make DVD's of Linux distro's). They e-mailed me back this: Thank you for your email. We can provide files like the one in your link. If you email me an updated link, I can give you a link to order it. (BTW, you can send a list of files for one disc.. 700mb on a CD, or 4700mb on a DVD). If you can, think of other large downloads to fill up the rest of a DVD with so that you get your $ worth (the cost is more than worth it if one is on dial-up, as you'll soon agree, I promise!) and it's not very much at all, something like five dollars IIRR. Just ask in the e-mail, they're very friendly folks. Here's the website http://www.osdisc.com Hope this works out for you. This guy should be supported as much as possible by folks like you and I in our situations.
