Mass download installers without the platform?

Since the platform does not yet support saving installers during update, is there a way for me to download all the updates en-masse without hurting my wrists doing one file at a time?

I'd even pay for either a dvd update or usb key update once or twice a year (Or more).

I have a lot of friends who like portableapps but don't have my internet bandwidth and I'm trying to help them out.

Regards, Fang.

I understand that

I have lot of friends who like portableapps but don't have my internet bandwidth and I'm trying to help them out.

And I can relate. Suggestions:

1. Have the friends stop by once a month or every other month and update their PA apps on your bandwidth. Have them bring beer or cookies and you spend a pleasant afternoon/evening visiting with them.

2. Have the friends mail you their flash drives once a month or every other month and you update their PA apps for a small fee, like a 6 pack or a batch of home made cookies.

3. Go to the houses of your friends, pick up their flash drives, and a case of beer, a fresh loaf of bread and cookies, and bring them home, update the PA apps while enjoying the beer, bread and cookies, then mail the flash drives back.

I'm sure you can think of others but you get the idea. Wink

Some people just think they are funny

This was a serious request to John T Haller and unemployed comedians do not need to apply.

only with hacks

That is only possible by using the updater and copy the installers from the temp folder while it is running.
