[MiKTeX] Problem downloading Miktex

[Michael B. <ba...@ma...>]

I have been trying for the last hour to download Miktex.  The first two 
times I tried, I chose the nearest mirror (cms.ca) which refused the ftp 
connection.  Then I tried a USA mirror and it ran for a while and then 
reported a file transfer error.  A sensible downloading program would try 
again, but there were no choices given, it just aborted.  I tried again, 
using a different mirror with, after a much longer time (about 20 minutes) 
aborted again.  Here was the relevant message from the log file:

An error occurred:
  source file: 
C:\work3\miktex-2.6\Libraries\MiKTeX\PackageManager\CurlWebFile.cpp
  source line: 372
  message: FTP: login denied
  info: 

I just noticed the login denied message.

How do you install miktex?
