Hi Linus, I've now tested this out on Linux Fedora 7. Sadly, it is not possible to paste http URLs directly into the File Browse box. As you suggested, this must be a feature of the windows file browser, which doesn't exist on all desktops. In any case, I think it should be possible simplify this section of the cookbook (perhaps with 2 possibilities for the psf download instruction, one for windows users, one for everyone else).

Anyone on linux/mac able to try this out?
