Beta 2 update method
Will the beta 2 update be pushed to us or a downloadable update? Is there a time table you are working with that is sharable with your beta testers?
Grrrr....search library for impatience now...I've gotta kick this :-)

It will appear as if by magic... you'll know it when you have it, and (of course) we'll discuss it here, too, so if for some reason you don't get it automatically, you'll know to report it and help us find out why.0

Great! Just to let you know...I don't have it yet :-)

Hmm now I should boycott Logos for trying to stir interest in the occult? Once we are on this slippery slope it's just a matter of time until we start seeing books like Harry Potter and Sleeping Beauty!

I guess for my part the most intriguing part of the question is "Will I get my DVD before the beta is over?"

Will we be able to say "Not yet"?
If it's released on September 24 and I have 500MB left on my download limit, I'll be wanting to wait until my new 'month' with my ISP starts (the next day).

Just to get some perspective... what kind of charge do you pay for extra megabytes? We are designing for lots of downloading -- background updates of the app, resources, etc. -- so it'd help to know if this puts an extra $5 burden on people or a $500 burden...

Bob,
If I am on mobile broadband, which I often am on my netbook when away from home/office. I pay 10c a megabyte when I exceed my monthly 5 GB. I was actually considering dropping to a lower capped plan because I only use this for email (Gmail so less downloading) and for the web. I never use it for uploading programs and I do have my netbook set to not download any updates automatically.
So, what's the maths (or math as you say in the US)? How much data are you hoping to push on us each month?

Well, it's only $AU3/GB for me, but there are other plans people are on that charge much more like a wounded bull than my plan does (eg: http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/isp-1-2/telstra-bigpond-adsl.htm - Telstra charge $150/GB if you're on a low plan). I shopped around for the cheapest plan and am still being frugal
It's not just download limits - the user might want to use the bandwidth for something that they consider more important or at least more urgent.
The ideal from my perspective would be
- a simple trayicon with a tooltip saying "I'm downloading 375MB of updates from Logos" (perhaps with a little more detail);
- an option to pause the downloading and automatically resuming from where it was (ala v3) if you restart / hibernate;
- a dialog (accessible from the tray icon) wherein you could optionally disable downloads (eg Don't update that resource because I never use it anyway).
- and the ability to still use v4 while the downloading is being done.

Nigel

I'm in Australia too and my plan is capped at 5gb/mth (slows to dialup speed thereafter) with being able to double the amount of download by downloading at specific times (i.e. off peak).
I agree that we need to have a similar system to microsoft update where we can decide what we wish to download and when. That would be the ideal scenario for those of us who don't have huge allocations of gb's.

I have no problem with any amount of GB, but I think it is great idea. There might be times you want to stop downloading to happen. For me it is in a rear situation I have no other connection than iPhone as modem and I have a limit of GB there, otherwise I pay extremely much.

$AU0.15 per MB or $150/GB. After $300 my download slows to dial-up speed! My plan is 4 GB / month.
Don't forget, people, that an unconditional download policy will apply to every machine and OS where v4 is installed!

;-)Pastor Black,
If there is no objection from Logos, I would be glad to priority mail mine to you. I live not too far (Olney, IL) so it would get there in 1 day I think. If you want me to, let me know and I will be happy to do it.

Thanks Jerry, but I got it today (after doing the download install earlier). I wiped off the download install and have had nothing but failures via the DVD install. Well it' installed but it crashes constantly.
As for Olney, OMS International is having their Isaiah 6 conference there in Oct, Are you planning to attend?
