Robustness for poor and intermittent internet connection

Hi,

How well does this updating software perform when internet connectivity is lost?I will have an application on a tablet that will need to automatically receive updates and this tablet will have internet at times, or may be traveling and connectivity will be intermittent.For such a volatile environment for connectivity is this updating software susceptible to corrupting files or thinking it completed an update when it did not complete? or any other issues?

Thanks

As wyUpdate is currently written (the 2.6.x branch), if the update download is interrupted wyUpdate does not try to resume the download later. It just discards the previous partially-downloaded update and starts the download again.

So it will never use a corrupted or partially downloaded update. Also, with update signing you can ensure the update will always arrive as intended.
