Is there a smaller download out there, like for a setup instead of a huge zip/rar folder?
Dude, .exe setups are insurmountably bigger than .zips, and .zips are insurmountably bigger than .rars.
Your best bet is a torrent if you need start/pause/stop downloading. I used
this one (I'd find the original but this is easier)
Those appear to be very long downloads, multiple gigabytes?
It's about 4 gigabytes, iirc.
