So I have 2 folders set up:
G:\sandbox\WUD\x86
G:\sandbox\WUD\x64

I have been planning on using WUD to slipstream updates into my Win7 All-In-One ISO for my new ISOSTICK! , and repeat for laughs on 8, Vista, and XP since I will occasionally use them as well.

WUD seems to enjoy crashing at inopportune times, and if I open it back up, it will make me either manually select updates (I'm guessing green = already exists), or re-download all of them! This means, as the months go on, and a couple of updates are added, I will have to figure out what is/isn't already there.

If I'm missing something, please enlighten/tease/harass me as you wish =)

otherwise, think about adding this in?

I was wondering regarding similar issues, not a complaint but just discussing about it.

I've chance to download the updates through Wifi only spots and sometimes the connection gets lost and WUD hungs, no problem I restart the program but WUD still keeps track of the latest partially (corrupted) downloaded file, so what I do is I download it again to be safe.
The problem arises because if I choose to download multiple files and Wifi connection gets lost then you can understand I don't know which downloaded file is safe or not so I must download updates one by one to avoid problems.

Isostick in very interesting for portability and usability but very very expensive (add memory cards cost too) and not safe in my opinion.
A burned disc cannot be corrupted by a virus attack but a volatile memory support can.

Many thanks to WUD developer for giving us this beautiful program.
