I wonder where those numbers come from? It surely would be nice to have them just come directly from the file system, but I bet they can't. As I recall, our server won't tell you how big the file is (so your browser can't even display a meaningful progress bar). I don't know what the issue is there. > The install instructions > here<http://www.openlaszlo.org/lps4.9/docs/installation/install-instructions.html> > say: > "If this fails, you should install the file manually:" > > Followed by Unix install directions.

If the luser is using the installer package, they are not going to be smart enough to follow the "manual" instructions; conversely, if they are smart enough to follow the manual instructions, they already know that OS X is Unix at heart and can figure out how to adapt the Unix instructions to install without the durned installer package...
