Nice to hear we are trying a new FTP component. I tried out the new
InstallMgr and I noticed a few things:
1) When installing a locked module the keys don't work.
2) When noticing that my keys don't work I try to cancel install and it
cancels but does not uninstall the module
3) Modules do not seem to be downloading right. I tried several bible texts
and thay all don't seem to appear in the Sword frontend. It also only
downloads 3 of 3, when the old installmgr installs 7 of 7. I hope this makes
sense.

I guess my Windoze at home is 'stupid' :) It looks like my font selction
options will be a blessing for those who use 'stupid' windoze boxes, and who
want to view unicode texts.

Thanks for the update. I will keep that in mind next time I update my
source.
