Karl, Sorry, my examples may not have been very clear. The reason I chose those was simply because they are the locations on CrossWire where zips can already be found. Also, we use 'raw' in 2 different places, which also might have been confusing: /pub/sword/raw - raw module library installatio

Troy, Either way would be good and both would be a code change of about the same magnitude. For the beta modules, the ../packages would need to be changed to ../ betapackages. Personally, I suggest the latter, even with this adjustment, because the files are already cached there. The code

Martin, I have no strong feelings about the virtual status of this method. If you feel there is a need for frontends to overwrite this, then we can change it for you. Do you think your changes would be a good replacement for the current implementation? -Troy. Martin Gruner <[EMAIL PROTECT

The BAO module has about 175 images. Are these downloaded one by one? What happens if there is a failure on downloading, say, the 135th image? I would think that with an image rich module that there is no constraint on the number of images it might hold. Is there a good way to improve the relia
