Manfred,
When you install the current GFv3 download bundle, it is connected to a
package repository. You can see what repository it is connected to by
either running "$INSTALLDIR/bin/pkg publisher" from the command line or
by running $INSTALLDIR/bin/updatetool and clicking on the image title in
the left panel. This will show the list of publishers in the right panel.
You can also browse the repositories from your browser. Note that the
"/" at the end or the URL is required when using a browser. These are
all "http" URLs.
