Dear DJ Delorie & Christopher Faylor,
My name is Michael Golub (Mike) and I am a Cygwin user. Being a crazy beta-tester of
KEDIT and WinZip :-) I ask for the following features be added to setup.exe:
1. Resume downloading after broken connections (using FTP "retr" command).
2. Pay attention to the downloaded file sizes to see whether their download nees to be
completed.
3. Specify more precize KBPS rate (better --- a CPS one) and instant as well as
average.
4. Copy mirrors.lst to setup.exe's directory (alike setup.ini).
5. I'd like setup.exe allow to skip dialogue if the neither mirror.lst nor setup.ini
changed at least if some command line option specified.
6. The distribution components file sizes as well as the total size (copied/to be
copied) must be displayed.
7. The downloaded components must not be eliminated from the download list, but
emphasized in any way (dimmed or somehow else) and possible alternatives must be
indicated (with some icon or somehow else). IMHO the table of components will not grow
significantly in this case, just some extra indicators will appear. A primitive
context help (alike tooltip) is desirable.
8. It would be nice to have download time estimations for both current component and
the total (the rest of) distribution.
Best regards
Mike
