Can't you make that up in some 4 pieces with individual installers for 56k users? In Scotland (or maybe the whole UK) we're stuck with 2 hours per dial-ip, and I don't know of an ISP that doesn't restrict it to that.

An average 56k going at 49,333bps can download the Renegade 1.037 patch (which is 23Mb) in just over an hour and a half. By calculation, a single Mb at that speed would take almost 4 minutes, so in 2 hours, without any other use on the connection, it could download just over 30Mb. If you're planning to make the installer in segments, I'd make each segment about 26mb in size to be safe. There might be some sort of combining utility, such as one for sending audio files in pieces by e-mail, to combine them into one.

screw the 56kers, its the year 2004 not the 1990s. Upgrade your connection for not much more then what you pay for the hunk of junk you call internet
