Hello Dr. Clements,
install program failed
Was there an error message? Did the extraction seem to go ok?
I wonder if the download could have been corrupted, which seems to
happen surprisingly often. Can you check the file size and/or checksum
with what's on the server?
are you aware
Hi Myrna, Thomas, and all,
Some TeX User's group offer ProTeXt on DVD/CD for a small amount (BTW:
Karl, can people get ProTeXt from TuG this way?), perhaps this is an
Yes -- you can either join TUG (tug.org/join.html) and get it as part of
membership, or purchase it separately
it will be really helpful if there is a torrent file for the protext.
It would be most welcome. Can you set it up?

I didn't see an ISO for the current version of proTeXt. There's no
mention of it on the web page http://www.tug.org/protext/.
The situation had been in flux for a while, just now resolved. Happily,
now the ISO's are available from a couple of sites, including Thomas'.

Hi Vafa,
1- Are you considering any alternatives to TeXnicCenter since it seems to
not being updated anymore?
I'm not sure there's any obvious alternative right now. Do you have any
suggestions?
We are sponsoring development of a new cross-platform front-end that I
hope will be ready

from this site:

I expect it is a network issue somewhere between your site and
fernuni-hagen. It works fine for me.
From where can I get the latest ProTeXt?
Well, another protext release will probably
It is not the case that proTeXt as a whole is covered by the GNU GPL.
It is a composite collection, and its pieces have numerous different
licenses. They are all supposed to be free (as in the Free Software
Foundation), but neither I nor anyone else can legally guarantee that.

John,
Thanks for your comments. The main purpose of proTeXt is to provide a
simple way for people to get going with MiKTeX. We've found that
providing a plethora of install options is counterproductive.
If you want a customized installation, you can install TeX Live instead
of proTeXt. TL's
Hi Jeronimo,
The truth is, we don't know the ECCN numbers for anything. We have been
exporting software for years without worrying about it, and so have
hundreds of other organizations.
And, sorry, but I have no legal authority to fill out anything like your
form. Protext, like all TeX
A user suggested distributing protext via bittorrent, and said that
somehow http mirrors can be used as seeders. I don't know. Passing on

- Which packages can be dropped, while there is still everything inside
to "write math/scientific paper"s?
You could use the equivalent of TeX Live's "scheme-small", which is the
same as MacTeX's "BasicTeX", which many people say they happily use for
more or less exactly this purpose.
Hi Ahmed,
I am trying to download the proTeXt ISO image but I am unable to
access the FTP link provided on https://www.tug.org/protext/
I don't know what happened to ftp.fernuni-hagen.de (I assume that's what
you're referring to). Thomas? The hostname no longer resolves in DNS.

from there it says it is around 3 gb but the page only gives around 1 gb.
Is it safe to downlad the file?
Yes, it's ok. The release this year is only about 1gb; I just forgot to
update the web page (done now). We had to remove a lot of the
lesser-used material from protext to make things
