Now you can't even take advantage of the game. ;)

If you have WinZip, you might be able to use the file splitter to chop the big install file into two components.

I used to get that kind of speed in my 56k days; best thing then was to start it in the night before going to sleep and it would (usually) be done by the next morning.
