Hi Clendell !All depends on the size of the route when zipped.If it is less than 40 Mb then Analogue Dial-Up downloaders might just about manage to get it in under 2 hours, the Online limit with many ISPs.My preferred method is to split anything larger into appropriate junks, Zip and convert each into self-extracting WINZIP Exe files to be zipped again for use in the File Library.After downloading and unzipping these, their unzipped Exe files can be run to install it into the Default Install destination Path specified when creating with WINZIP, which is changeable by the installer.There are of course many "Installers" available, many for FREE, but found some of them requiring a fair bit of learning !Which ever you chose, test install your route on your machine first before uploading it to the File Library !
