I would get DSL...I asked them to do that before, they said yes as long as I pay for the bill...I really don't want to do that...Isn't it like $50 dollars a month?! I don't have that kind of money since I only have a part time job after school...

Just start the download before you go to bed, and hope it completes without interruptions, turn off any screen savers. Been a Long time since I had dial up, but I remember that's what I did.

Do like what I used to do: Pass a blank CD to any friend whom has a DSL (or better) connection and ask him/her to download for you.

i thought that dsl was like 25 dollars over there in the US. well another solution is just leave it online with download manager and in case you get disconnected at least you can continue where you got cut off from before.
