And i've read your answer to use some mirroring tool (wget) instead before i sent my message to the forum. It seemes to me that you are wrong proposing such solution and it is not the answer to the question. Of course i can download everything "by hand" - without the SETUP program, but why should i? SETUP "knows" more about the mirror sites, directory structure, package versions etc. I'm only asking about one small bug in SETUP -- since it doesn't show already downloaded (but NOT installed)files, it's a bit confusing.
