"What is wrong with "Software Update..."?"

Nothing.
Sometimes you'll want to archive the updates if you have more than one machine, internal LAN, and/or want to rebuild them without a connection.
Things ... disappear.

For example:

You can do that without a Torrent, by using Software Update. Just go to UPdate -> Download Only.

There is nothing saying that Apple can't release a 10.4.10. Leopard is still a bit rough, at least from my sources opinions. I am excited about getting it though, so hopefully it will be a better initial release then 10.4s somewhat spotty performance and bugs...Edited 2007-03-14 06:12 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 06:10:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (NeoX) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?221207 http://osnews.com/thread?221207 I was a bit miffed at the size of the Intel update. 163MB!! Where as the PPC update was only 74.4. Why are the Intel updates always so much larger?

I tend do to that with my coffee cup, when I'm not looking, which was quite annoying. Nice. Thu, 15 Mar 2007 09:01:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (henrikmk) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?221839 http://osnews.com/thread?221839 Since there was only 10.3.9 (10.0.4, 10.1.5, 10.2.8 were final releases prior to that), there is no pattern to the release of the next operating system.

It's likely that there will be another release of 10.4 after 10.5.0 is released to make certain things are finalised and of course, security updates could follow.

True, but by using "Software Update -> Download Only", you sometimes end up with updates designed just for a particular model.
If you have varying models it's best to get the full releases and archive for the full range of possiblities.
