There are numerous ways to get around this problem: 1) Use a bittorrent client. It can resume. 2) Use a download manager as others have suggested. Many of these can resume. 3) Order, or find a CD 4) Find a friend with a high speed connection and bring a flash drive. -- Fail to learn history-repeat it. Fail to learn rights-lose them.
