You can use the ISO version
Thanks, that works. But I can't seem to get the program to open (I tried double-clicking the .exe files). It didn't work in XP or ROS.
It does look good from the screenshot, though.

You need to extract the ZIP file or copy the files from the CD to
a writable folder
I hope it can download a URL from ftp and http? Maybe it will replace the semi-functioning Download! in ROS 0.3.3.
About the list of programs, maybe it can be checked online against a Wiki where people can list put in programs? Or maybe it can include some of the apps listed in http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4302

The files are downloaded from HTTP using HTGET
The list of programs (including description and screenshot) is
downloaded from a server (preset: http://www.2clic.be/rosi)
where an XML file is downloaded
Still VERY buggish and not finished (or it might be a little of the new program and a little of ReactOS Alpha at work), but nice start!
May I ask, where are the files downloaded to? Perhaps ROS can implement a basic Downloads file on the desktop where all the download files go.
Yes I need to debug it
At the moment the file are downloaded to the current folder
but you can create a ROSi.download file containing the
destination folder 8)
Excellent! I'm having a bit of trouble getting the lists of apps to show up, but I guess that is a bug? It does look nicer with the icons!
So maybe this will be helpful in a better Download!, or a separate program? And it looks like people can make custom lists for the program to use, which is nice.

Much better! Stable, no see-through window, nice buttons. One problem, I open the .exe, install it (cool!), and then open the program, but I see no list of programs (it's all blank). Is that normal, should I be doing something?
