Yes, it's a very common problem. A server might be on an internal network,
with no external access. Or, it may be configured to deny external access
except when done to and/or through a specific port by a specific
application. Or, you might have a change management program which requires
you to closely track what patches are added, and how they're added (which
this updater might not do - I haven't seen how it actually fetches multiple
updates, or whether it lists those updates a la Windows Update).
