Chris,

You should be able to download the packages using OpenG Commander.  If =
you
are seeing TCP timeout errors, try changing your selected package mirror =
to
one of the others.  The default (voxel - new york) appear to not be =
working
well.  I have found that the (easynews - arizona) is working well.  In =
the
next release of Commander we are going to have a much better system for
automatically iterating through the mirror list when there is trouble
connecting to the selected mirror.  Also, we are going to have a system =
that
allows automatically downloading updates to the mirror list.

Commander should have no trouble installing the ogfwk_opengoop-0.10-1
package.  I'm not sure what the problem is.  You might want to post =
specific
details and screenshots to the Commander support forum at
http://forums.openg.org

Regards,

-Jim
