That should not be the case. Lots of people have used those other methods to download the files. If you can determine (e.g. later, as I'm guessing there might be a problem at your end currently) that there is a problem with those download scripts etc., then please let me know what you find out. I did not write that code, but I know that it has worked well. On the other hand, Emacs Wiki moved to a different site and setup a few months ago. If for some reason the displayed HTML versions of files in the Elisp Area are being downloaded then that would probably be something to report to the wiki maintainer. > I'm currently downloading all the files manually... OK. But let's not exaggerate - it's not like there are 459 files to download. ;-) (Anyway, I agree that when MELPA works well it is easier than doing things manually.)
