This is the problem with dial up. I know here in the UK when i was on dial
up the ISP disconnected me every 2 hours, so there was no way i could get
large downloads down in the conventional way. I found a way around it though
by using a download manager. However, after a while downloads were taking so
long that, out of sheer frustration, i subscribed to broadband.
