Back in the day I used to download a version of Debian over a 56K modem (that rarely
achieved those speeds) I used to set it to downloading around midnight and get up
the next morning and it was usually finished or almost and if it had stopped in the
night I just restarted at that point, but it did get done and the ISP didn't
complain.

Of course I don't know what kind of data transfer restrictions you may be subject to
if any but patience is still free.
