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. ======================================================================= -- This is a mailing list which exists to support users of OpenOffice.org All answers are given by other users who volunteer their time.
