The ftp server(?) is down. The mirrors may be up, but the lyx installer (lyx-1.6.6-1-Installer.exe) is not using the mirrors for loading aspell. At that point (downloading aspell6-en-6.0.0.exe) it waits a bit, says "connection failed", and offers a choice between cancelling or trying again. Try again is useless, cancel completes a Lyx installation with spell check greyed out.

Like this for at least a day now. Please can someone fix the aspell download server that the above installer uses?

Also does anyone know how to tell Lyx installed after cancelling aspell download to use an instance of aspell separately installed?
