Instead of relying on the browser plug-in, especially on an older system,

utility...you'll be much happier. (Of course, you'll note that it takes the
same amount of time to download the file whether you are using the plug-in
or not, it'll just SEEM faster in the long run!) Besides, we're talking
delivery of content that you would use off-line anyway, right? It's not like
you'd want to be running your LDraw tools and have a live connection to the
Internet...you'd want those files local for zippy access.
