So, now that there is no download manager is this going to mean that I have to regularly download updates before I can log in?

I was heading to the desert today to run an epic ADQ and crashed on loading, as I usually do when entering the desert. When I tried to re-log I was forced to spend 15-20 minutes installing updates (updates that weren't needed when I originally logged an hour or so earlier) and missed out on my ADQ.

How often is this sort of stuff going to happen? I always left my manager open, so I never really noticed how frequently there were updates.
