As a side note, there is a checkbox in the update dialog that says "Do not automatically download updates" or similar... so there is an option for that...
Okay, I'll have to wait for the next update, since I won't see that dialog otherwise. Fortunately (or unfortunately), next summer is far away.
Maybe there can be some global NSDefaults option like "myInternetIsUberExpensive" ... but I'm staying above that abstraction layer.
Hmm, that would be nice, yes. In fact I would have liked to have such an option that would be understood by all auto-updating apps, not just the sparkle ones. I have auto-updates turned off in most apps, but if I could have a global on/off switch, I could turn it back on. Maybe I'll suggest it to the sparkle folks. - Harald
