I found this module today and wanted to give it a try. I went to the jQuery site and made a cool dark theme, but then I encountered a discrepancy with the instructions in the codex. The instructions said to Choose the '1.7.3 (Legacy release, for jQuery 1.3.2) ' radio button. Click "download".

The choices I had were: Stable (Themes) (1.10.3: for jQuery1.6+) or Legacy (Themes) (1.9.2: for jQuery1.6+)

The first time I did this, I hadn't read the instructions too closely and just clicked download without realizing there was more than one version, so it downloaded version 1.10.3. I then went to my Gallery and tried to import the .zip file. I got an HTTP error.

I went back to the codex and then really read the instructions. Did the theme again and looked at the versions I had available. Didn't see the version it specified, but chose the one labeled "legacy" this time. Went back to Gallery and tried to import it. Again, I got the HTTP error.

I'm wondering if the module is out of date because jQuery upgraded on the site? Or what happened to it... but it's not importing anything now.

Devs are heads are down on G3.1. and the original author of the module has had some real life stuff get in the way.
I have never tired the theme roller and with 100s of jQuery updates in the last few years I don't think the module have been updated in some time.

Your welcome to continue on experimenting and updating the docs with your findings.
