As we prepare for the GalCiv2 release next week (and the preload of content this week), there is going to be a new Stardock Central 2.29 build published tonight.

Initial application installs with it are more or less the same, though it has some new code to try and failover to other servers in case of errors. It's major new addition revolves around how it handles updates in the future, which should be a lot faster to determine which files need to update and to attempt to get them from another server if it has problems with one.

There is liable to be a side-effect to this new update code, it's going to want to fetch some files for updates for already installed components even though they are already installed. Once its done that the first time, it shouldn't ask in the future.

Please CC problem reports with the new Stardock Central bits to kwilas@stardock.com and bharper@stardock.com. We will be working on tweaking anything necessary in the coming day or two.
