It can't go there because if there's nothing to download (as in the case of the
full installer), it would still show up.  Not good.

Comment 2

[Henrik Gemal]

But you have some other conditions? "Download Site:" is only added if we have 
to download...

true.  we should be able to conditionalize it.  Over to Curt.

Comment 4

[Ivan Dolezal]

My comment is actually a proposition: could you please change the order (1) FTP,
(2) HTTP?
If you don't touch the "Proxy settings" button, it tries to download implicitly
via FTP. If you want to download via HTTP, you must explicitly change it.

This is NOT smart, as many companies (like ours) has security policy much more
liberal to HTTP operations than to FTP (due the problematic "active mode FTP").
It is annoying (especially if you want to download nightly builds) to always...
forget that you have to change to HTTP, then watch for a minute how you can't
download anything, then go Back, change the option and go ahead.

Thank you in advance!

Ivan: I agree, since I'm also behind a firewall that doesn't allow FTP transfer.
