On the other side, and unless disk space is restricted, using the download feature of MiKTeX is not a good idea IMHO. Using LyX as a production tool, a full update once a year of a fairly complete distribution is a much better solution. Installing e.g. proTeXt takes less than an hour, and you're set up for months. Of course, the download problem should nevertheless be solved. -- Jean-Pierre
