Crysx, please help.

I have OZC and need to transfer it off the exchange.  I downloaded the 17 RC2 wallet from your website (i'm not familiar with wallets on PC, I normally send to exchanges).  It's telling me that I need to download 4 years worth of blockchain ?? How do I stop this!  I just want to be able to send the coins to somewhere safe.  Can I use public and private keys ? A generator of some kind?  Please let me know some legitimate examples.
