Download update once for a whole team (share on local network/LAN, like Windows 10)

Question

Looking for comment first, before submitting a Feature Request …

How hard would it be to implement in PT a feature like Windows 10’s Allow downloads from other PCs? In countries like ours where we pay per GB for Internet, it would certainly be an advantage to have the first PC that downloads an update then share it over the network with all the other PCs on the LAN.

Probably very expensive. Doable, but probably weeks of work we could be spending on other features…

Answer 2

In my experience there aren’t a lot of translation offices which are a network AND paying per GB. It seems that an alternative suggestion would be to include update files when sending/receiving via thumbdrive. It could just put the msp file in a directory that would trigger the upgrade on the next restart.
