So it sounded like you had some trouble with the older installs. That's unfortunate - but we were talking about the current installer. ;)
Now you said you are downloading 8 apps - "ponderously download" - you do recognize that it may take time to download 8 separate large programs, right? You can't expect 8 updates to go quick. It doesn't matter how cool your installer is - a lot of bytes is a lot of bytes. You do accept that it was easier to *start* those updates, right? I guess it just depends on your point of view - but for me - and many others - the experience of using the CC app to handle installing/updating is *incredibly* simpler compared to the past.
