For a start, you DON'T download it from delorie.com.  As has
been said here several times in the last couple of days, that
is a modem link and consequently suffers from bandwidth problems.

Download from ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2,
and first get file readme.1st (standing for "Read Me First").
Or if you're French then file lisezmoi.1er (my French isn't good
enough to evaluate the translation).

A few paragraphs into that, after a list of all the files in the
distribution, is a section called GETTING STARTED, which is about
getting started with DJGPP.  The first subsection in that is
"What to download".  Not surprisingly, that tells you what you
need to download...
