probably no easy way - the other important bit is grabbing all of the save files out of your user profile directory on the old pc (documents and settings\ or users\)

you could try copying the folders over to a portable hard drive and then onto your new laptop, not sure how sucessful that would be though. Would definately need reinstalling but it may reduce the downloading needed.

Find a coffee shop with good connection and do your re-download and reinstall there. May cost you a few bucks, but it's worth the hassle IMO. Not every game can easily be transferred from one system to the next without the install process. You'd end up spending hours.
