Uggg...rebuilding my system from scratch
Yesterday I remortmatted my system and reinstalled Windows.
I’ve been having issues with Windows not updating and tried every troubleshooting method I could find and nothing would get it past a reboot loop, so I blew out the partition and reformatted and reinstalled from scratch with the latest Windows 10 1903 iso image. But here I am, trying to download the updated installers for all of my software. I’m downloading on three separate computers with three separate internet connections: our satellite internet, my cell phone hot spot, and my Verizon hotspot. Average download speed is about 100kb/s. The fastest one is my cell phone hotspot which varies between 150 and 250 kbps. Between Protools, the Avid plug-ins, Waves Mercury, the Slate Bundle, and all my other plugins, and other audio software, I’ll be lucky to be back up and running by the end of the weekend. It’s a good thing I don’t haven’t any projects on the stove right now. This is the reason that Cloud Collaboration will never work for me. Those of us who live out in the sticks are 20 years behind the rest of the country when it comes to internet access. But it sure would be nice if the software packages that Avid posts weren’t multi-GB bloatware monstrosities.

Here, in Down Town Clown Town, Hollowland EU, I pay 60 €uro bucks monthly for the 2nd cheapest bundle of digital TV, radio, landline telephony and internet via cable. I get stable download speeds up to 250Mbps. I just downloaded and reinstalled all my (30+) -updated- PA plugins in less than thirty seconds. I feel for you. T

Same here brother, country life. I usually go to town if I need a bunch of something downloaded I always keep backups of installers and every time I do what you did, I truly see which plugs are my favorites And some never get installed again When time and life permits I will have my studio here in the same sticks (not that far out, but far enough not to have home internet) and that will be the selling point “Get away and focus on the music”

I usually keep downloaded files also, but I needed to update a bunch of stuff so I had to download them all fresh. The town that I love outside of (Chouteau) doesn’t have any such thing as free internet in a cafe or coffee shop. I’d have to drive an hour to Tulsa to get there, and then it’s just not that great of service. I used to download stuff at work, but since I left the City I don’t have access to their super fast internet any more.

It is a whole lot less pain thata way. Of course now they are building millennial castles in the corn fields around me, so it won’t be long before we have cable and MCHSI.

Re: Uggg...rebuilding my system from scratch
I went to college at the University of Tulsa. We had a whole marching band show designed around Living on Tulsa Time and Take Me Back to Tulsa. So glad I have never had to play those songs since.
