How do I download the whole thing on dialup?

How can I download this? I've got an unstable dialup connection - I'm usually lucky to get five or six hours online before my ISP "accidentally" disconnects me. (They swear they aren't doing it on purpose. Yeah, right.) None of the mirrors seem to support any kind of file resume I can use - Fileplanet isn't sending it through their Download Manager applet, and it won't allow Getright to reconnect and resume on the 60 MB I've gotten already. The Nitro Clan mirror in Germany doesn't seem to be there at all, I get a "Cannot find page" error, and the DB Center pops something like a "No such file" error. So is this basically a broadband only download, or is there something else I can try here?

I'd really really like to play this mod, but I can't play it if I can't get it, can I?

There are DL managers out there that allow you to resume partial DLs if the connection is lost.
I don't know of any offhand tho

DAP can do that (that is if the server allows for it):

1) http://www.getright.com/ will allow resuming

2) Use the bit torrent download that is floating around, it also allows download resuming.

Or I can burn it to a CD and mail it to you

I had the same problem.
But I used lastest version of getright (5.2 beta)
and the filefront link.
I had to keep getting back into the queue to restart
the download, but I downloaded it all in about a day.

Being a 56k user myself I was daunted as well when I saw the file size (216mbs!), but the zip version has a fair amount of mirrors now so after about 26 hours of downloading with getright 5.1 it worked fine.

Getright Users: If you can't resume your download, then "search for alternates" (the down arrow menu), or check on www.filemirrors.com (a getright mirrors site) because there are some mirrors listed there.
The best site imo was downloads.planetunreal, because the servers listed there supported resuming (i used ftp.edome.net and some other one in new zealand), yay!

Don't lose heart!
