If your internet connection is poor -- or even if it isn't -- I  
suggest you consider joining TUG. One of the benefits of membership is  
that you'll receive TeX Live (and other resources) on DVD when it is  
released.

See http://tug.org/aims_ben.html and http://tug.org/join.html for more  
information.
