What it won't do is add to it. I downloaded the new setup today too. I first download things. I basicly want to have a local mirror so I can install things from there on several boxes. I stopped downloading because I didn't like that directory. Maybe I should mirror it an other way? If I download it like this, and then install it from that dir, will it use the newest packages? What happens if I download from an other site? Will it make yet an other directory? Will it then still pick the latest version? I canceled the download and started over, and it downloaded all the same files again, so I assume it won't do what I want at all. Any suggestions? I also find an other small problem. Sometimes it seems to be unable to get the setup.ini from mirror, sometimes it does. It complains rather fast, I don't think it even made a connection to it.
