AFAIK Auto downloads of the updates is far worse!
1: user might be using 3G at some point where the downloads cost a lot!
2: downloads while i'm watching streaming video content would cause the
lags in my videos which i would hate.
Who said auto download updates? You guys put words in my mouth, I never said we should do that. If you read the scenario I presented you'll see that whether or not updates are download ahead of time is irrelevant. Also- I started a new thread of this discussion, can we please continue it there?
