I tried both ftp and http access to spidermonkey and ftp access to    
ftp.helixcode.com                                                     
(a different machine) - the effect was remote connection reset on     
larger files... But, about                                            
1:00 am CET I was able to download everything except gtk-themes... But
the connection                                                        
still wasn't very good :((

It installed just fine on my machines... (Debian/woody)

Gotta agree with that :)), although I don't use WIndows :))
