Hmmm, then perhaps this is a more recent addition? I seem to recall
having problems in this area a while ago (which is one of the reasons I
have a local mirror). That or perhaps it was some other problem and just
showed similar symptoms. Since I've been using a local mirror, I haven't
experienced anything like what we've been talking about. But, if this is
the case, and Setup has had this functionality for a while, then why was
the subject of having trouble downloading over an unreliable connection
coming up? I'm a bit confused as to which problem we are addressing here
now.
