directx 9 download problem

[Pete Nicholas]

Please help!

I've just bought Windows XP Home, and need to get a copy
of DirectX 9 for it. Unfortunately, I don't have an
internet connection at home, only at Uni, and since the
DirectX download from microsoft (i.e.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
FamilyId=141D5F9E-07C1-462A-BAEF-
5EAB5C851CF5&displaylang=en ) only gives you a program
that wants to connect to the internet itself to download
the software, I'm not sure how to get it.

Does anyone out there know how to download DirectX 9 so
that I can save it onto a CD-R and take it home to
install?

Thanks!

Pete

Most of the CD's on cover magazines contain it. Especially game magazines.
