This corresponds the "Download" link on the CTAN page of each package, but unfortunately, is not always in TDS format. For example, for pgf (which is locate at /graphics/pgf/base), we have https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/base.zip which lists all tex related files in base/tex sub-directory. The CTAN page (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf) also has a field "TDS Archive", which lists: http://mirrors.ctan.org/install/graphics/pgf/base/pgf.tds.zip which is TDS compliant. The same is the case for circuitikz and pgfplots. So, it safer to use "http://mirrors.ctan.org/"; .. data.ctan.path .. "/" .. pkg_name .. "tds.zip" But, for context packages, CTAN does nto have the tds zips (I guess because the default zip is already TDS compliant). For example: https://www.ctan.org/pkg/context-filter has the "download" link at the bottom but not the "TDS Archive" link. In the end, since I am only installing 4-5 packages, it is simpler to input the URLs but hand rather than write code to automate the logic. Aditya
