...and just to clarify an earlier post, turns out that AU doesn't check
disk space before downloading. So, if you're not SP2, and you have less
than, say, 100 mb free (which was the case on my laptop), your machine
gets to be unusable until you disconnect, kill AU, and clean up the temp
files.
Generally, this won't be a problem since everyone has 60 gig drives now,
but AU really ought to check for free space before rendering my pr0n
collection inaccessible for several minutes. Very rude indeed.
