The updates are here. You could also do a manual update and save around 
24 MB in download size:


https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/2.48/update/win32/
I did this once and it wasn't worth it. Just grab the installer and be 
done with it. 2.48 should be an improvement over 2.46. Gecko overall 
gets better with every release. Only now with 56 (2.53) things start to 
really go down the drain.

Depends on your connection speed. Is 38 MB a problem? For comparison, 
2.46 was 35 MB.


The subdirectory 
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/2.48/win32/en-US/ 
contains:


FileSeaMonkey Setup 2.48.exe38M 21-Jul-2017 08:32
...
Fileseamonkey-2.48.zip  48M 21-Jul-2017 08:32

I was surprised to see that the zip file was 10 MB larger -- it turns 
out that's because it contains all the SeaMonkey files and folders 
instead of the installer.

This will not work at all for this release assuming that you are using the
official version. If you use Linux and the version is/was provided by your
distribution just ignore. The distributor will then update it as usual.

If it comes down to doing a new build (very very very unlikely) you would need
to download again and reinstall but nothing which would be problematic.
Please backup your profile before upgrading in case you want to go back. There
were some changes in the Mozilla code which might break older add-ons.

Your comment is confusing.  What do you mean by "upgrades"?  The language in
SeaMonkey when you check is "updates" not "upgrades".

I recall the last update was all messed up as far as internal push and it was
a long wait to get it.  Is that the case this time too?

I know when I can download the full released version.

I never do an update.
I backup my profile when SM in ot running.
I download the new full version.
I uninstall my current version.
I install the new version.
