Generally I don't mind updaters leeching my bandwidth, but it hurts when I am on mobile data. Is it possible to set Windows update to download updates only when I am on the fixed line internet, without having to change the update settings. (one obvious distinction is that DSL is a LAN connection and packet data is a dialup connection, so maybe we can exploit it somehow)
Or if I can define a rule allowing only my web browser and download manager to use the dial-up connection, that will simplify life and improve karma.
