Are Software Updates pre-downloaded?

by AES <siegman@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jul 4, 2008 at 12:59 PM

When the Software Update window opens and says, "New Software is 
available for your computer", and the highlighted button says "Install 2 
Items", in many cases when I say Yes, the installation completes much 
more rapidly than these large items could possibly be downloaded on my 
slow "broadband" connection, so they must have been pre-downloaded.

But is this _always_ the case?  

I'm looking at one of these alerts at the minute; I'd be willing to go 
off and do something else for a few minutes, while the installation 
takes place; but I also know our broadband connection is being fully 
saturated by another user, who'll be using it for quite a while.  Should 
I risk starting the install?
