The problem is that there is some kind of timeout. After about 5-10 minutes
of download, the download is aborted.

So you CAN NOT download it over a modem (not even a 28.8kbps).
You HAVE to download it using a faster connection.

I used telnet to connect to my internet provider and downloaded it
to the /tmp dir on my providers fileserver.

But as one can not run other than text based programs using a telnet
prompt, one will have to use a text based www browser.

I used a program called "lynx".

Yes you can. I just did it, it took me about 15 minutes. The
thing is that your local connection in this case is not the
bottleneck causing the timeouts.

Hmmmmm!   downloads at a "Mb per Minute"  Huh?

If this is the way you quote times, I sure would hate to race you.
I bet this guy is a map maker too.................1" =  500 miles...
His wife must be "the happiest woman on earth" and probably writes to
Dr. Ruth.....
