LDoN and LoY can be downloaded from the patcher as-is without any other special files.

You can download the Kunark and Velious expansions if you have the KPATCH.EXE and VPATCH.EXE files.

PoP and SoL cannot be downloaded from the patcher like the others I mentioned above. They have to be installed from a CD.

You can get any file from the patcher regardless of the expansion. It involves a few extra steps that I don't recall offhand other than it utilizes the xPatch.exe files and then manually getting the files you're missing.

I mean that you cannot download the entire SoL and PoP expansions. If you have a partial installation, the patcher can fill in the gaps, but it won't let you grab all of it through the patcher.

True. Not automatically. But you can still retrieve the entire SoL and PoP expansions without utilizing the CD. Not saying it wont take you awhlie but it is possible.
