It would appear the easiest way to accomplish this is to select download from 
internet.  Then when you get to the chooser screen you have two choices the 
first is to click the view tab until you get to full list and then select 
reinstall or install for each packages - this is sure to get them all.

Second choise is on the category view first click on the rotate icon next to 
All Default until it say reinstall.  This will now download all the packages 
you have installed as you said.  Let these download, then run setup again and 
this time for the All default icon click until you get to install - this should 
select all packages you do not have installed and flag the once you have as 
keep.  You can check these settings each time by rolling through the views to 
Full and see what is selected.  Also on this pass though checked the skipped 
view because I still had 4 or 5 in that view so check them if there are any.

Hope this helps.
