Automatic updates should be an option. Currently I have my hosts file modified to add:
127.0.0.1 www.applian.com
This way when I start the software it won't try to update the plugins. Sometimes the older versions work just fine. After updates I have encountered problems so I've reverted back to the original plugins and everything went back to normal. Anyway, adding the above to the hosts file works just fine but it screws up the tagging because the software can't locate applian which it needs to for some reason. So the process for me is, start the software, edit the hosts file to add a # in front of the above entry so that renaming works and then remove it again when I need to restart the program. How about asking "Would you like to update the plugins?" instead of just assuming it's for the best. Sometimes it isn't.
