Bug Report for Stardock Central

I upgraded to drengin.net, and noticed a few bugs as I was downloading the other games

- "download and archive all" does not work properly. First, it only gets top-level items. That is, it will grab The Corporate Machine, but not the Cola Market. The second-level items get marked for download, but not actually downloaded. Second, if I do a "download and archive all", I still need to install separately. When I install after archiving, it should give me the option of installing from the archive, rather than re-downloading. Now, to use a archive, you need to go to the File menu.

- Whenever I start Stardock central, it seems to re-download three files. These files should be re-downloaded only if there's a change. I have a 56k modem, so grabbing these files every time slows things down. I think it didn't always do this; this was a recent change.

- Could Stardock make available an archive of all stable releases of GalCiv? It would be nice to be able to go back and play an older version occasionally. Have them install to a separate directory, so they don't corrupt the real installation.

I've brought this to the attention of the people who work on SDC.

Another bug: if you are doing a "download and archive all", and you exit Stardock Central (or it crashes!), it should automatically remember and resume when I restart (or at least prompt me to resume).

There should be a "download, archive, and install" option in addition to "download and archive".

I had Stardock Central crash on me, multiple times. I was doing multiple "download archive" and exited while in progress.
