I can imagine how difficult that is, but even at very slow speeds
Memorize-33.xo should take a very short time ... it is only 832971 bytes
long.  If you would like to try an alternate method to download on an
XO, use Terminal activity and wget.

For example:

1.  insert a USB stick,

2.  start Terminal activity,

3.  type "cd /media/*", to change the working directory to the USB stick
so that the download will go there,

4.  type

	wget -c http://wiki.laptop.org/images/4/44/Memorize-33.xo

5.  when it finishes, verify the file with

	md5sum Memorize-33.xo

f2527bab56090a72d396e2b20091e62e is what I get.

6.  then close Terminal, open the Journal, find the .xo file, and click
on it.

Using this method will also help you understand why the download might
be failing.  The output of step 4 will tell you more details about a
failure.  With this better understanding you might be able to fix the
problem or at least be better informed.
