Hi Michael,
I rejoined TUG earlier today
Thank you!
started the download of protext twice, but it failed, and if I am
interpreting the message correctly, it would take 31 hours!
The distribution is about 370 megabytes, so yes, that's going to take a
long time over dialup. (And it's a lot smaller than most other TeX
distributions, at that. :)
Since you just rejoined TUG, a physical CD (and DVD) should be sent out
within the next couple days. Perhaps that will suffice?
Another possibility might be to do the download at school and then burn
a CD to take home.
Failing that, I can split up the distribution into, say, 10mb chunks so
that your dialup connection have a chance at eventually succeeding. Let
me know if you want to do that.
Sorry for the trouble.
Best wishes,
karl
