Oh, yes; I remember doing that with Exile 1 and 2 (Exile 3, my introduction to SW, had come on a shareware CD). And then, because my dad's PC was the only one hooked up to the phone line, I had to pack the zip file onto a bunch of 3.5" discs to copy it. laugh

"Now please insert disc 3 of 17..."
I used to do the same thing, except I used a file-splitting utility to break up the setup into floppy-sized pieces on my sister's computer (she had the internet connection), then reassemble them on my computer. Also, I tended to get kicked off the computer halfway through a download, so I ended up waiting until my computer classes in college to do any major downloading.
