If after making numerous choices on a fresh setup, the program
(setup.exe) determines that the DL site selected is deficient in some
way and kicks you back to the list of providers, and you then select
another, the next screen you see is the initial selection screen. It
seems to me that there are two possibilities here; 1. the program has
discarded the information previously gathered, or, 2. it remembers
your choices but chooses not to inform you of that. Which is it, 1. or
2.? Either way it seems like the program could use a little work to
become more 'user' friendly. Either don't throw away information
painfully gathered or tell the user that his or her choice is to
either add to the existing list or just to hit next and continue.
