I live in a rural location. I started the 9.3 update download just after breakfast this morning. It's just after lunch and my download manager says I still have ten hours to go before I have completed the 9.3 download.
Same thing happened a couple of weeks ago when I updated to 9.2.0
What is frustrating is that I don't own 90% of UAD plug-ins. I have no immediate plans to buy the latest releases, except perhaps upgrade my AMS RMX. A year or more ago, it seemed updating my UAD software wouldn't take anything like this long.
It's getting on par with things like Native Instruments Komplete, or Toontrack Superior, with hundreds of samples and programs to download. Most other software fx plug-ins are very quick to download or update.
Questions: Why can't you make smaller downloads that don't include every plug-in (already on our computers), just the ones this particular update effects? Why can't we choose to unclick all the products we don't own and don't want to update. Many software products allow you to choose what you don't want to install.
It's just getting a bit ridiculous that my internet is tied up for 10 to 13 hours just so I can update a handful of fx plug-ins. And it's every couple of months, not once a year, or even quarterly.
I don't need to download the entire catalogue of UAD products just to keep my Apollo up to date.... surely?
Thanks, Chris
