Re: [Thinkpad] [TPX30-all?] Update Connector problems

No suggestions, just a little empathy. On my X21, Update Connector has failed more often
than it 's succeeded, and it seems to get worse with each new version. I like the idea of
it, but the reality is that it takes much longer to get updates if I attempt to use UC.

It seems to connect more readily on the A30p, but it is not reliable about the actual
existence of available updates, and sometimes acts as if it's downloading an update for so
long that I have to terminate the program and go find new files manually anyway.
