I noticed this too. You can avoid this by making your browser window
wider though (quite extremely wide, though).
Can you file a ticket at trac-hacks for this? I don't think I have the
time to dig into the download plugin code. I'm very busy lately, and I
have some bug-fixing to do for the PortLogPlugin.

Components correspond to the ports that are in the database. You will
have to use the AddPort form to add the port to the database.

True. But also here, the download plugin would have to be altered.
Perhaps it is a good idea to look for an alternative to this plugin? IMO
it would be best if all the bin archives were to be stored on an FTP
with directories corresponding to the port categories.

Please include the port revision number too, as I proposed in 'Re:
PortLogPlugin and the new host'. While there's no strict revision
numbering at this moment, the new site will enforce this.
