Unfortunately the sourceforge links this relies on are now EXCEPTIONALLY unreliable and have been for the last few weeks - for me and I'm sure most everyone else most download attempts fail considerably more often than they succeed now (and this is on a well behaved, rock solid, fibre connection.)
Given that 10 or so successful downloads are required for this installer to complete, and most times individual downloads fail, and any individual download failing causes the process to fail, successful installation is now essentially impossible for me and many others - mine and others' systems have been stuck on the repeated "Failure to download extra files" dialogs for a while now.
:(
Given that it makes this package currently uninstallable and the considerable heat this is receiving, I'm struggling to see how this can be regarded as only medium priority now.
