On a dial up connection, yes it will take a very long time and it
will probably not download correctly. You will probably have to
download it several times before you get a copy that is not corrupt
due to the long download on dial up.
I can save you the trouble if you want to spend $10.00 plus shipping
for a CD.
While it will take hours, you can't assume it will be corrupt, given the
error detection in TCP/IP. If an error occurs, a re-transmission of the
affected data will fix it.

Though, unless your dialup line is very reliable and error-free it is
unlikely the an 11 hour transmission will complete without error, at
least in my experience. When I was on dial-up I would never have been
able to complete a download that long. I live in a suburb of Atlanta in
an older subdivision with a lot of old infrastructure.
