The whole "dream" assumes that the downloads are already
downloaded/quickly downloaded...

Consider users with slow connections, so the downloads take time to be
initially downloaded download is larger the longer the wait time!

Downloads take time, also when the user is connected to via a secure
*wireless connections the connection is established ONLY after login* ,
which allows the passkey use!

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.
