For whatever reason, it's consistently the slowest download-and-install in MacUpdate Desktop; maybe it pulls from a specific URL that is slower than the one presently advised, I dunno. Specific symptoms are that the connection and DL are very slow to start (often several minutes), then slow to complete. I have a 200Mb/sec connection, so it's not that. Anyway, MacUpdate doesn't serve files from its servers, but from the developers'. If it's not using the best URL for this, then someone from the dev team should inform them of a better one to use. A frequent problem with sites like MacUpdate, Download.com, etc., is using outdated URLs from which to retrieve the packages to deliver.
Anyway, the point was simply to suggest a regular release schedule, since many development projects use them, and many people appreciate them. If you don't want to, then don't. <shrug>
