 Replying to [comment:4 datallah]:
 > The "Offline" installer has everything you '''need''' to run pidgin

 Who cares? If it's an offline installer, it's supposed to install
 everything he offers me without downloading anything.

 > There is more than just GTK+ in the "Offline" installer.

 Ok, but this just means it can't be named as I suggested.

 > I really don't think that this is all that confusing

 Then I suggest making a poll about wether users would agree that an
 offline installer which may require connection to the internet is really
 offline for them.

 > changing the name will not change whether or not internet connectivity
 is required to install the optional pieces and really won't change the
 confusion level.

 I agree, but a discarded solution is not a solution itself. In other
 words, it doesn't make the installer offline.

 > If the error message from when the dictionary download fails needs to be
 improved (it looks fine to me), lets do that, but I'm not in favor of
 changing the terminology.

 What needs to be improved is the fact that me, as an user, thought that
 '''an offline installer like all the others would install whatever options
 it offers me from within the package not the internet'''.
