windows updates

dates the same but I only saw 9 there today not 10. go to win update and it will let you know if you got em yet.
 
No, except that daniel here got the number of updates with a max level of critical right.

It is a large number of patches, but it isn't unexpected. When patches are released on a regular monthly schedule, the number of patches will tend to fluctuate. And for home users, the number of patches doesn't require any more or less work on their part. If auto updates are enabled, they will be covered, if they need one patch or twelve.
 
I don't like to auto update. I want to control my own bandwith us dial ups have to conserve our pathetic bandwidth.







whatever happened to universal broadband
 
Which is why AU uses BITS. Using AU to drizzle the updates to your machine is a far more efficient use of your bandwith than downloading manually.

Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)

Detailed description

The latest version of Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), BITS 2.0, includes dramatically improved bandwidth efficiency. This means that, when Automatic Updates connects to the Windows Update site or a server running Windows Update Services, it has to transfer less data, and can transfers the data faster. This minimizes the impact Automatic Updates might have on your Internet connection or corporate network. BITS improvements include the following:

? BITS 2.0 can be configured to download updates during a specified time, such as periods of less network use.

? BITS 2.0 can be configured to use only a specific portion of available network bandwidth.

? BITS 2.0 is optimized to download only the portions of files that have changed. For example if only one byte changed in an updated 1 megabyte (MB) file, BITS will transfer only a few bytes instead of transferring the entire 1 MB file.

? BITS 2.0 can recover from network failures. BITS can resume a file transfer if a network fails or a connection is lost during download. It will not restart the download, but instead will start from where it stopped.
