I tried this on Fedora 14, and it seemed to download info Ok, but then was just spinning its wheels indefinitely. On killing Scribus and reopening, I have no additional color sets. Looking in .scribus, I can see a pantone directory with a number of PNGs and .js files, but swatches/locked is empty. I guess the thing to do if I can figure it out is to set up some messageBoxes to see what it is trying to do when it fails. Greg
