My latest complaint is the small download manager files you have to get, instead of being able to download the whole file you want.

Also I need an internet connection to recharge my prepaid internet. It restricts you even from the ISP if you run out.

Yep and every bugger thinks you should download a download manager to provide no real features. I can read an update release and misread the dependencies. I don't need a download manager to stuff it up for me.
Managers for Motherboard, Malware checker, Intel components on the motherboard, GFX card. Additionally they may have a "auto detect" element, btw your Java RE needs updating to run it.
FFS I just want to download the latest driver. I do it once every 3-6 months I don't need to install a redundant piece of software to download a driver every 6 months. Tell me the version, the release date, and dependencies (including bios) and I can do the rest.
Now the marketers have pretty looking patch icons and no f**ing version info or sensible order without going into the files to find out. You can tell I'm over it.

Category in the filename, Date released and version, thanks, Now move along.
