Jaytee Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hi,I'm a new Windows Updates Downloader user and I notice that the first thing it tries to connect to after I click the download button is an Akamai server. The author says it downloads the updates directly from Microsoft so why does it first try to connect to Akamai? I also see a web address called vps1.supremus.com that it tried to connect to. Can anyone shed some light on this?Thanks,JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) 1 - Microsoft uses Akamai Servers 2 - Likewise, "Supremus" is the connection to WUD to check for an Update to your "UL" file.There is no problem with these connections. They are legitimate.edit - to clarify -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_Systemhttp://www.howstuffworks.com/dns.htmHTH Edited April 25, 2013 by submix8c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
