ftp down - Windows installer not working!

[Nigel Arnot]

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?

The installer is for convenience, mainly. Why not install aspell
manually [1], and then reconfigure LyX?
