    @Xecure, I’m testing the latest version of the script- using it to download palemoon browser. It’s downloading 174 files, again, it seems slower than usual- I did not check your code, are you by any change using any particular repo, not the “faster” repos I have selected?
    The changes you made make sense- first update system, them try to download applications with all dependencies… but, not using gksudo will confuse users- a terminal window poped up, asking for my password, but I got an instant error, saying I typed the wrong password, even before I began entering it…
    I entered the password, and tried to download palemoon- it worked fine, with the password already entered- suggestion- if you want to use the terminal to enter the password, make the script wait for the password, and only then proceed with trying to download the files. I personally see no reason not to use gksudo- is it missing from the base antiX version, or something like that?
    During the time I typed this, the script finished downloading palemoon…
    I added the off line repo, and selected to install palemoon from there- strangely, it got downloaded from the on-line repo? the terminal said: ” http://glua.ua.pt/pub/mx-packages/mx/repo stretch/main amd64 palemoon amd64 28.11.0-1mx17+1 [41,0 MB]” and it got downloaded at the usual speed my system downloads stuff form the net.
    It installed fine, but it seems to install directly from the on-line repo? Did I miss a step?
    I clicked, just to see what would happen, the “Remove repo from list”- it seems to simply do a “sudo apt update”? Is that the expected behavior? It cleans the virtual repo from the list and updates it?

    The script fells really professional, Xecure- I mean, not, “lets put this in antiX because there’s nothing better that does this job”, but “let’s put this in antiX because this does a great job, it’s easy to use and looks fine!”
    It’s just a matter of getting any bugs out of the way

    P.S.- something really seems off- I tried to download something small- “geany”- once again, the script tells me it will download 171 files? Does geany have that many dependencies? It the script downloading everything the system needs to be up to date as well? That would make sense!

    P.
