That site is used for uploading modules by authors. I never thought
about users trying to learn about existence of modules via that site.

I removed the link.

Do you want to say that the module gets removed next time when you run
first-setup.bat? If that is the case, it should be fixed. Updating
works for me and also keeps the modules up to date.

I would advise you against using the --keep option unless there are
some other/strong reasons to do so. But you shouldn't need keep just
for the sake of a potential bug.

I would need to check again what exactly --all does. But --modules=all
should install all modules and --modules=t-tikz should be sufficient
to keep that module. However I don't know what happens if you use
--modules=t-somethingelse next time. Maybe that removes the modules
that you installed previously as it expects the complete list of
modules. I need to check.
