To Know What is Downloading
I may have said this a few weeks ago in different words, but , it would help to know "what" is being downloaded. For example, I just got a popup that said it was downloading 6 MB (approx.) . So, then I wonder "what" is it? I hoped it might be the Help file but, no. Back to comparing downloads with how Windows Updater works and in that, we can see a screen with file names and size, in addition to knowing something is downloading, how far along it is and then it is installing. We have some of that info. already and thank you for that. I will still lobby for more user control or in this case, knowledge of the system.
I am still freaking out in a great way with how fast indexing is taking. I have over 1100 resources and it is under an hour. Huge improvement and so I know in the future, I can continue with my kind of purchasing a resource occasionally and not worry about indexing. Thanks!!

I've definitely said it numerous times.
We need a list of updated files.
We also need real control over which ones are downloaded. I did not want to redownload all the image files (most of 1GB) this week.

Thanks George. Though I'm sure that the message has been passed on before
One of my concerns is that there have been times in which I have not received all of the files which should have been updated. Not having a list of updated files (or access to the ftp server to check which have been updated) makes it impossible for us to verify whether all is working as it should. It took me over two weeks to get someone to listen to my complaint about not having an updated version of AYBD. After screaming long and loud, it was finally determined that there was a server error. I still do not have access to an updated NJB. I don't know what else has been updated which I should have access to but do not.

I would like to see the same control over updates that we have with Libronix Update in V3. Where we can see and choose which resources get updated. There are some I will never use that I wouldn't waste the download or index time for.

It has been expressed before - I'm not interested in the massive image files that spice PG or some tools because it is 0.5 GB that I can cheerfully save on my download limit for this month, and until Logos4 goes into production! I would request as a minimum that no further update be progressed this month!
