Re: Download


There is no "all-in-one file" to download, but when you 
download the file "setup.exe", you can choose the option 
to "download from internet" and then select many files 
that you wish to download. This allows you to select 
many files and download them all at once- this would 
allow you to download many files and leave your computer 
unattended, perhaps late at night when dial-up is less 
expensive. 

After you have downloaded from the internet, you can choose 
the option to "install from local directory" and there is 
no need to stay connected to the internet.

Regards,
Peter
