    Internal updater is slow. Downloading offers users to get the latest version as soon as it comes out.:D

    Intentionally though. They update certain regions and sets of people at a time so that if anything goes wrong with the update immediately, it doesn't affect millions of people instantly. Updating more slowly also means less bandwidth on the servers I'd think. :)

    Even if that means waiting 3 to 4 days to get new version of WSA? I'd rather be one of the first ones and bear those mishaps.

    Normally should be 72 hours max. But if you reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaallly want to be one of the first, you have to either re-download the main executable (Did you know that simply running the installer will auto-update?) and run it, or move to Ireland. :)

    I bet a technically-inclined person could make an automated system to download the new executable regularly - or even just head it and look for size changes or some other appropriate information changes - and install newer versions automagically within an hour or so of its release. If you trap the execution of the normal update, I bet you could even try to figure out how it does its update silently. :)

    I've simply bookmarked the link to the executable, so when I see a new version is available, I click on the bookmark, double-click the exe file and Bob's your Uncle.
