kml636 make sure you use Safari to downld LW. You can find it in your Applications folder. Dial up shouldn't make any difference. But perhaps leave your computer alone until it's finished downlding. If you have a different HDD or partition, try downlding it there instead. Otherwise make sure you're downlding it to your user account ... not someone elses or the system or main library folders. And you'll probably also need system permission to install it ... as in being the admin of the computer.

(BTW do you know anything about applescript?)
