That said, their update tool is totally broken. Case in point: you do
a clean install of OS X, the software updater runs silently in the
background and starts downloading the latest updates, you run the
software update frontend manually, and it discards any partially
completed silent downloads so far (this could be up to 1gb of
updates).
Getting OT ...
There is a tedious way around that. Install OS X offline. Then open up the
Software Update preferences, and disable "Download Import Updates
Automatically",
which IMHO should be the default. You then have more control over when
updates are downloaded.
One of my Internet peeves is software that silently gobbles bandwidth
without notifying you.
