I think that was a joke. Neither did I mean to make this a big problem.
The current state is fine as long there are no server names with more
than one path.
I just want to make sure that if someone fixes this it doesn't cause any
further problems or bugs. If nobody will do it we can leave this here.
I can't fix this in UI because the install manager is in the Sword
library. That is why I was worried about problems which could appear if
this was changed.
BTW, surprisingly, I also thought about MD5 but I think the Sword
library currently doesn't have function or 3rd party dependency for
that.
