I always see "If you downloaded the svn" or what ever on different posts and I have no idea how to get the SVN version of a file. I just see the download links and then I click and it downloads. How do I get the svn of it?
Just like you've done with kicks the svn check out step. If the profile creator has a svn set up for the profiles you enter their url into the svn checkout for the folder you made for their profiles.
If they don't have an svn then you can't use svn for updates.
Edit*
Cava made a nice step by step with pictures for his profiles second post is where the instructions are, just do the same thing but for whoever's profiles you are downloading.
keep in mind ultimately SVN's aren't supported, since the files aren't hosted here, we cant verify their contents so be aware of that when downloading from random peoples SVN's
