Unfortunately, I don't know how to install packages in MiKTeX, but
I <br>
know MiKTeX lets you choose from a long list of servers to upgrade
or <br>
download packages ---if some server is very slow, try
another.</blockquote><br>
Working with MiKTeX may be painful in the beginning, but with some
patience and trust in MiKTeX as well as in your guessing you will become
friends with MiKTeX -- this is my experience. Sometimes the bar showing
the progress of a task doesn't work and you don't know for a while
whether MiKTeX is working or hang-up ... sometimes it is fine after some
minutes, otherwise try again ... as with so many other machines and ... I
wonder what will happen if I remind of the patience and trust of a, say,
... bus driver ... <br><br>
As Axel says, MiKTeX offers you to choose among server repositories, and
you will certainly find one which works. <br><br>
To remind of what Philip Ratcliffe remarked earlier, there is a special
mailing list for MiKTeX users: <br><br>
