Use one of the mirrors to avoid MCI, have MCI not conveniently drop network connections because they've sold more bandwidth than they actually have, or pull down the files using an mget as seperate files instead of trying to do them in a lump. Then when you get dropped, use "reget" to restart the download where it left off. You *could* use "reget" on the file as it currently sits, without much trouble.
