Damn Windows Update

Have a 63K WU at 2 hours to completion. I went to watch a movie on Dish, come back in 2 hours to check on it and Windows has downloaded and installed some update and rebooted my box! Of course, it auto boots Ubuntu, so I still have 2 hours to go! grrrr!!

Noob - Best Client?

My system is an Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93ghz 64-bit Win7 12gb mem. I installed the beta SMP2 as a service with -smp and big switches. Taking just under 7 hours per unit after 4 WU's.
