Apple: downloading vs. installing updates
-
Why can I not continue working in XCode while my new 2GB XCode 5 update is downloading? I can understand that XCode can't be open during the actual update, but during the download? :confused: Apple forgot (or never even realized) that some of us live in 3rd world countries, and that downloading a 2GB update can take half a day. And if my past experience with Apple's App Store is anything to go by, somewhere in the region of 60-80% of the download, my ADSL line is going to go off for 2 seconds and the download will fail, and not have the ability to resume. Somewhere shortly after that the App Store will crash and the update's status will become stuck and I will have to Google for a solution that requires me to edit/delete some files hidden somewhere deep in the file system. Then I have to restart the download from scratch.

How dare you criticize Apple? Didn't you read the NDA! I'm glad this is clarified, long live Apple! ;P
