I am having trouble with the Steinberg Download Assistant.
Precisely, it is not recognizing already downloaded content. Since there is a LOT of it,
this makes it harder for me to know what is already installed, and what needs updating.
Is there a way to reconnect already downloaded materials, so the Assistant knows what I already have on my system?
Thanks.
Using Mac OSX 10.15.7 Catalina, Macbook Pro 2019, 16GB RAM.
Steinberg Download Assistant version 1.20.2
A more comprehensive download center with vesion checking would be great. I have more than one system and keeping everything in synk is sometimes hard.
I agree. Steinberg Download Assistant is showing me a list of items to download which contains content I already have installed (current versions of Cubase Pro, Retrologue, Padshop, and Groove Agent), and content which is new (a newer version of Halion Sonic SE), with no distinction between them. This is poor.
Here same thing… I usually check one morning a week, and it takes me forever to get behind which elements from the steinberg software bundle need updates… NI and Roland do this better to name two other compnies… it should be not that difficult to scan what is already installed and what I am entitled to install, right?
Ditto. New user, found thid thread thinking I was missing something. The download assistant doesn’t show what’s installed or whether it’s current. So I opened the library manager, tells me what’s installed. However, the Download Assistant shows the version number, no date, and the Library Manager only shows the install date?? If they at least showed the same info, we could tell if it was current manually. I’m glad that Nuendo doesn’t push updates and break current projects, but I can’t believe this has been around 20 years and it can’t even tell if it needs updated?
Cubase 12 pro user here. I am finding this frankly unacceptable. I have copied the download folder from my PC to laptop yet when I click install in the Download Assistant it begins to re-download the files again. ??
wtf Steinberg.
I don’t know how it was in the past, but with version 1.35.0 on Windows 10, when a download/install is started and the Download Helper discovers existing files with the expected checksums in the right place, it should skip the download. I have checked this behavior with both applications and content (.vstsound files).
