after about four hours each time and the download is still around 50% or
less. I have tried help...but nothing tells me how to resume a stalled
download. Is it possible to resume or would this be something which has
never come up before? Is there a workaround...like pausing the download
before the dialup call gets dropped, restarting the connection, and then
resuming the download...?? The trick there of course would be to catch it

OpenOffice.org itself does not control the download to be able to resume
after an interruption; for that, you'd need to use a "download manager"
like BitTorrent. But even with such a manager, using dialup will
probably be fairly painful. If you have access to a computer with
broadband connectivity (at a library or a friend's house, for example),
you could download the file and store it on a USB drive or a CD, then
copy the file onto your own computer and install it.
