  downloadUpdate();
  sleep(10000); // 10 seconds should be enough time for the buffer cache to finish writing to disk even on the slowest system.

        Eh I’ve seen much worse. At least it’s not:

        if (condition) 
        {
        doTheThing()
        } else
        {
        don'tDoTheThing()
        }

  Has the update process crashed completely?Or will I have to wait all this time again if I restart the process? With windows you eventually get used to not knowing these things.

  I think windows has a feature where it gets the update for other neighbors with windows. this might be why the extra lag.

  oooorrr… as EA says, “to give the user a sense of accomplishment” ~

    Ah yes, “My computer finally updated! I should feel grateful and lucky! I am blessed by the gods and I should reward myself with some dopamine!”
