Assuming you're on 56k, it should only take about an hour and a half (4MB per minute, roughly) to download. If you've got a decent download manager that can handle resumes (and which can turn off threading/making multiple connections to a site to trick it into serving faster), which you really should when on dialup as it makes life a LOT easier, just set it to download and turn off the computer when finished before you go to bed or go out for the evening or whatever.
