I can't say exactly, but it will be several hours. Also, it may be the ISP that cuts you off, as some have a maximum connection time. Do you have access to another computer, perhaps at work, a friend or library, with broadband access. If so, you can download it there and copy it onto a CD or USB connected drive. You can also try a method, such as BitTorrent, that will resume after reconnecting. Failing that, it is possible to buy it on a CD from several vendors. A list of CD vendors can be found here. http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/index.html#cdrom We cannot vouch for any vendor. Make sure you get the latest version of OpenOffice, currently 2.3.1.
