Capt Claret, I believe IE 5.5 is about to be or has been released. IMHO wait for this release and get it from a PC magazine cover CD, unless you have free phone calls I wouldn't bother downloading it as it will take an age and there is the possibility or corruption of such large downloadabble files. I personally use Netscape which has a smart update feature which can add enhancements as released, if there is a major change then I go for a cd off a magazine.
