I can see if I can replicate it again. Like I said, it's something I've noticed the two times I've updated my OS (in turn reinstalled WoWMinion - WoW has always been a separate drive.).

Better Cache management.

Several times now when I've had to re-install WoWMinion (mostly cause I wiped it from an OS re-install), I get updates for Add-ons that should have updated weeks ago.

I run WoWMinion every few days,...

I run WoWMinion on Win 7 without any issues (been through a few versions of Win 7).

I get around this by installing WoW on a different drive. I don't know if you can go that or not, but it is an option (and it's saved my butt a few times when I reinstalled my OS).

Oh yeah, that's right. It was the dropping of the updater that dropped it back down to the background. ;)

I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure there is no case here. WM isn't "stealing" any bandwidth here. They are using very publicly available links and webpages. Now, I do know of many cases that do *try*...

My apologies if I took it the wrong way. I admit, I did skip around in the forums. I saw her single post with that single comment. I commented on it, out of context of the posts prior to that.
