+Yes, that's how it currently works. A GTK window shows up at first run
+displaying the game's license and upon confirmation it will show
+another window for the game data download, with a progress bar,
+download speeds etc and an option to switch mirrors (haven't tried it
+yet).

+Well as Pascal said in another email I'm not sure it is a good idea, I
+think there's nothing wrong with doing the download at first run. Also
+if we move the download to %pre or %post then we can't use the graphic
+window which would be a loss in user friendliness IMO.
+
+I'm almost set to commit my modifications tonight, I have been working
+on the download and install scripts for Smokin' Guns but the need more
+testing.
