Downloading IE6 Full Version:
Download and run the setup file, and then choose the "install minimal or customize your browser". Click the "Advanced" button. Choose the "download only" and then download your components to a directory on your hard drive. That way if you have to set up on multiple machines, you won't have to repeat the download each time - there may be some components needed by certain OSes, etc., that require additional download, but you can come close to downloading all of IE that way.
I would like to add that there is a combo box with three options Minimal, Typical and Full. I selected Full and there is also four check boxes with Win98, Win2000, NT4, and ME. I checked all four boxes and it was about a 50 meg download. If you only need it for one OS it would be a much smaller download. I have it on a zip disk now and can install at my liesure.
