I think that's what he accidentally did.

The problem is, setup doesn't make it particularly obvious how to redownload
stuff.

Use 'Download from internet' mode, and cycle each package "Retrieve" (for
installed packages or a version number (for uninstalled packages). The
category actions can help you avoid having to click on every package, but
unfortunately, the labels are wrong in "Download" mode: "Install" downloads
uninstalled packages only, and "Reinstall" downloads installed packages
only.
