 When installing Pidgin 2.0.0 (downloaded 2007 MAY 18) I get this popup
 when the installer attempts to download aspell_installer.exe:

 Error Installing Spellchecking : Timed out on connecting.
 with buttons for Retry or Cancel

 I am not behind a proxy, I can browse the web using IE, Firefox, and other
 internet apps. I am also able to use firefox to download
 http://www.pidgin.im/win32/download_redir.php?version=2.0.0.7&dl_pkg=lang_en

 I select retry several times no luck. I cancel the installation and the
 pidgin install completes. Please help. Meanwhile, I have gotten Aspell-
 en-0.50-2-3.exe from the url above. When I attempt to install it
 separately, it tells me that Aspell not found and whether to abort. I
 select no, and the installation continues and completes.

 Will installing Aspell this way work properly with pidgin? How do I
 resolve the original issue?
