Complete yahoo! download

[casanova]

Most of us shud have noted when we downoload y!messenger or y!widgets, it is around 320kb installation file. Later on when we execute it, it connects to internet and then it carries out the installation procedure online. This becomes a nightmare for those on slow connections,ltd downloads and frequent reinstallers of windows.
So, what we have to do is just download the 320kb installation file.
Now disconnect ur internet connection.
Execute the file, it wont find any connection and will give u a link to download the complete installation file.
Download this file and u have the complete yahoo! setup files with u.

Another benefit from this is we get rid of all that y! toolbar and all that stuff.

Thx 4 the link. I used to search 4 these links a lot. But did never find it and many friends were also upset with this online installation. 1 fine day, my net went down and i got the trick and hence shared it.
