I was talking to my friend about this problem right after I fixed and he pointed out that this behavior for the update-manager makes it a security risk. It makes us vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack. Might I suggest that the update-manager perform a checksum operation before it replaces these files with nonsensical data, that, in theory, could be a man-in-the-middle attack. It makes me very nervous to be on public network, like my school's or a hotel's network like with Michael Crane.
