Spanish Struggles

I'm trying to currently download and run the Rosetta Stone 3.4.5 Version on my iffy, crappy, almost an octogenarian of a computer. In Bombay, the internet is often demonic, and has a mind of its own. Needless to say, I have a small heart that starts palpitating almost audibly anytime I have to do something like this, and the fact that the internet gave out at 97.9% of my download for a whole 9 minutes made me pace and yell at inanimate objects more than usual.

Why, God, WHY! 

A question I offer up to the heavens everyday.

Anyway, it's loading now. After being downloaded. (A 1.13GB download took 2 days. Does that put my troubles into perspective now?)

The painful process:
1. Look online on http://thepiratebay.org for a legit torrent to download.
2. After months of searching, find a file that seems appropriate.
3. Use Bittorrent, and hope its friendly.
4.Wait an eon, or two.
5. Download Daemon Lite Tools and burn what you downloaded onto a separate drive that the program creates on your computer.
6. Run Setup.
7. Hope you don't die of palpitations.

Rosetta Stone, better teach me some EspaƱol!
