Does Update Now actually do anything?
I ask because I noticed that some are reporting a newer RC version than me. I typed in Update Now and waited 10 minutes and nothing seemed to happen. I restarted Logos4 and immediately (within a minute) the little icon came up and reported that it is downloading 26.9MB. I had 4.0.3.2019 and now after the update it is reporting 4.0.3.2144.

Update Now will act promptly if something is waiting and you have Automatically Download Updates = No. If you have Automatically Download Updates = Yes I would assume nothing was available at the time, but 10 mins later there was a download available.

It was available because others had an updated version of the RC long before I tried updating. I have everything set to yes.

Two things I have done to force an update (when I know one is available):
1) Type in "Update Now." Sometimes nothing happens, but the double arrows go black and if you hover it, it says there are items waiting to be synced. Double click on that.
2) I have also had luck doing this: Go into Program Settings and temporarily set Automatically Download Updates to "no." Twice when I have done this a click-able blue link that said "updates available" or something close to that has immediately appeared. I clicked on that and then re-set Auto back to "yes."
Both of these have worked for me but I have used #1 more often over the last 2-3 days.

In which case it sounds like Update Now was slow, perhaps Bradley could explain!

It would be nice to know it was going something, anything. I will wait until I know there is something new available and then try Jerry's suggestions.

In another post, Bradley did explain that update was now set to check once a day rather than every startup. That was part of their strategy to spread out the load on Logos servers. Am I missing something, or does that explain what's happening here?
