If you'd like a retro 1998 web experience try downloading this software. A maze of world wide mirrors but nothing I could get to work.

To be fair to the developer they do know about this problem on the website. "If your network is noisy" it may be impossible. Noisy? My router is silent as it always has been. What is a noisy network?

What is MacTeX?

MacTeX is a redistribution of TeX Live, a typesetting environment. While TeX Live is designed to be cross-platform (running on Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows), MacTeX includes Mac-specific utilities and front-ends. It is also pre-configured to work out-of-the-box with Mac OS X as it provides sensible defaults for configuration options that, in TeX Live, are left up to the user to allow for its cross-platform compatibility.
