Every day millions of users update phone apps, even their phone's OS, and their PC or Mac apps and OS, even their Mac firmware, over a lousy and intermittent connection. If the connection goes down in the middle, no problem - the error correction takes care of it. You can turn your machine off right in the middle and it will recover without error. It couldn't be otherwise; there's no way to explain to consumer users that the connection has to be solid. I realize it's more code on both ends, but I think this is something Elecraft should look at.
