Some people have connections with download limits. I.e. You can only download 4 gigabytes of data before having your connection throttled or being charged. Some people also tether to mobile internet, which very definitely has download limits. Case in point, I was working on the road a lot this Summer and was using my 4G hotspot. Automatic downloads can very rapidly eat your download limit up whereas browsing and email is unlikely to do so.
- Animats 10y agoI have a small laptop I seldom use, and when I powered it up in a meeting, it downloaded vast numbers of updates. Then I couldn't shut it down for 15 minutes while it installed updates. I was stuck in a conference room alone while the thing updated.
