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.
