I've reviewed the module manager and these are the things I've noticed:

* the window opens too small on OSX.  It should be ~200px wider.  
* like jianwu said, the progress monitors show each individual download, but
not the entire download.  Either the dialog should be greyed out until the full
download completes, or there should be a full progress bar.
* There seems to be a bug where if I select a few modules to download, then
click the "retrieve" button, the first module is not removed from the gui
"selected modules" list.
* I did a "change-to" on an available suite.  It was about 10% done with
downloading ptolemy, but then displayed a "done downloading modules" dialog.
* After running the change-to, get this exception (and kepler crashes):

...

* when I try to restart kepler I get:
