Path is not at all helpful in determining the name of the zip file.

We rely on [Name] to determine the name of the zip file. We also use it as the unique key within a repository, and within the collection of installed books. Other than that, it is used in diagnostic messages.

Path is used to get the files for the locally installed module. It is not used in downloading the zip file. It is not useful for that.

I will be adding back in the FTP methodology and use it as a fallback for failed download of the zip.

This will solve the Xiphos repository zip file name problem.
