http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/linuxtex.zip.bz2       22 M (works ok, 
all you need for context, run setuptex and you got your tree, fonts etc)
http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/macosxtex.zip.bz2      22 M (untested)
http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/mswintex.zip.bz2       22 M (works ok)
http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/tex.iso.bz2           120 M (unzips to an 
ISO which runs context + everything from cd, for the moment win, including 
perl/ruby)
