>For users that for some reason don't want to use the great Extension Downloader
One of the reasons why I don't use ED, is because it is often easier to click a 
url to download a zip file, and unzip the content.

With ED, the user has to copy the repository location, go to Settings > 
Advanced > Extension Downloader, paste in the url, refresh the screen, then 
search through the multitude of tables to find the new plugin.  Click the 
checkbox and apply.

I find that's a little more effort, especially navigating around the ED page.  
The randomness in the ordering of tables makes finding plugins a chore.  They 
don't appear to be alphabetical by author, nor by the repository list order.  A 
table for each repository is just a bit weird - why not a single table for all 
plugins from all repositories.

Hopefully this plugin will make that easier ;-)  Could the plugin read all 
repositories and create a single repository xml file containing references to 
all known plugins?
