Ummm,  How long ago are you talking about - Most of the setups I have worked 
with since this new version (GUI) began (I believe) have used the method of the 
subdirectories and the setup.ini.  When you use setup to download the files it 
automatically keeps a copy of the setup.ini file for you.

This can still be done I believe - Create the subdirectory under your 
downloaded files directory and place the appropriate tarball there and modify 
your local copy of setup.ini to have an entry for the package you want to 
install with the appropriate directory entry and other flags you see in the 
setup.ini.
