Subject: Cant get list of download sites

... says the setup program, which is funny because Im using a simple ISDN connection from an NT box which worked well enough to get me that far. I tried "Direct Connection" and "IE5 settings" but there is no proxy. I also tried stopping the firewall. Is the an explanation, solution or workaround, like just downloading the whole thing by hand or telling setup.exe on the command line which mirror to use?

A possible explanation is that I just got called a spambot for trying to read the manual, which I didnt take personally, at least, not to  the extent of mentioning words my mother wouldn't, but consoled myself with the explanation that IE could look like a spambot, especially after I'd switched off the friewall.

Thanks in advance for any help, especially if you also CC it to adrian at stone-age-software dot com.
