Details

When you encounter a site, which uses a yet uninstalled plug-in, you get the option to download the plug-in. When you are logged in as a normal user, and you try to install this plug-in, it will quit after downloading (error 202), because it possibly has no writing permissions. This of course, assuming that you've installed phoenix in e.g. /usr/phoenix/... The downloader should at least ask for a superuser password, to make it possible...
