You can't - IIRC it's windows ****ty self--downloader that gets installed and then tries to DL it, so you can unless DL it with a manager if you want the whole, standalong patch.  which is ridiculously large..

no option to (aldo beat me)... usually AOL poops out after about 5-6 mb, but going to a M$ site, or getting a certificate download overrided AOl completely, so as long as my computer doesen't go to sleep, (which w2k doesn't like) or i run too many programs and make it unstable, or allow a car to hit the telephone pole, it should continue...

well, the only reason i have w2k, is because apparently, without an ethernet card, you can't use a cable modem on anything less then w98Se... but then the drivers for the modem ****ed up the whole system, so i had to reinstall w2k, and the model never was recodnised by the device manager or bios...

this was several months ago, and my parents were already flipping out because they got a popup about how to 'enlarge stuff' and therefore went through every file on the 2 hard drives (40gb of stuff) looking for anything to blame me for... but, they have already told me, as long as i keep my grades up, i'll get my laptop in june/july, and get comcast back then, so that we won't have to deal with usb modems, and can go wireless...
