Downloading iMovie Update

Hi List !
I am one of those souls who have the huge benefit of living 'in he 
sticks' but has the huge disadvantage of not having a broadband 
facility at the moment.
I think that the new iMovie update is about 80 meg but downloading this 
file for me will take literally, hours.
My service provider (virgin.net) limit the time that I am allowed to be 
connected to their server to two hours, insufficient time to complete 
the download. Every time I reconnect and re-start the download it 
insists on starting from the beginning of the download again. Am I 
doing something wrong, or is there something that I should be doing ?
Thanks (as always)
Neil
