Having downloaded TeXLive (binaries only) on several occasions for my friends over DSL I can confess that that is really the case (at least 3 hours for binaries over 1.5Mps DSL connection) . I purpose that the program be ported in the style of Gnome. Light strip down version which would be the minimal fully functional configuration, "full" (English language) version with all bells, and then another port with the support for different languages, another port Music part of the TeXLive etc. The idea of dividing the port is just initial and should be more carefully considered by the people who know more about various aspects of TeX that I do not use.
