[UniMacTech] 10.5 Software Update Service Woes

[Mark Szota]

Hi Andrew,

I too did a fresh install (no upgrade), but was not having issues 
starting the service like most of the people in that thread. The only 
problem I am experiencing was the updates being downloaded, and then 
disappearing for no real reason. Not fun watching it re-download the 
same updates again and again.

I'm doing another fresh install and hoping this time it works as planned.

Cheers
Mark
