From what I've heard, most of the 1.733GB of that download is the installer exe itself.  So, you'll have to have software that can split the CD burn or zip either way.

YngPhoenix, well at least you have your priorities straight (mine are - new hardware, Christmas presents, in that order) ;)  But again, my livelihood depends on computer hardware (and software), so it's a no brainer for how my finances are divied.  Save up after the holidays (or make some hints, hint, hint) and replace that CD for a DVD!  You lucked out actually.  Only a few weeks ago I had a spare Sony DRU-512 DVD-RW sitting around (DVD DL for my birthday), but it was traded for some other equipment.  I would've just shipped that off to you.  Maybe someone else will be generous in this respect?

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
