Hi Troy,

Yes, but it is still not thread-safe:

 
https://github.com/bibletime/crosswire-sword-mirror/blob/trunk/src/mgr/installmgr.cpp#L276
 
https://github.com/bibletime/crosswire-sword-mirror/blob/trunk/include/remotetrans.h#L100
 
https://github.com/bibletime/crosswire-sword-mirror/blob/trunk/include/remotetrans.h#L62
 
https://github.com/bibletime/crosswire-sword-mirror/blob/trunk/src/mgr/remotetrans.cpp#L210
