COMPLETE DOWNLOAD FAILURE – the program loads, I select programs to install and or update, and then it processes to say “Failed(Download failure)”

This NO LONGER WORKS.

Today’s giveaway is not actually giving away anything.

[@Stephen Andrews] You can try the source download from GlarySoft’s website at [ FilePuma. com ] to see if THAT version of SUP Software Update Pro installs and runs without misbehavior.

I used to like this program BUT it’s awkward in NOT seeing some programs already installed, and installing programs whimsically where other software updater programs may not see the installation.

When setting up a new computer, I use THIS sequence, sort of, AFTER Microsoft’s and the vendor’s resources:
1 – free [ Ninite. com ]
2 – GlarySoft SUP Software Update Pro IF I have a license AND when it worked.
3 – my own C:\Install\A…Z installer resources.

I’ve tried other installers and updaters, but they are all quirky, and I never use them more than a few times before moving on in frustration, too much work, easier to install from my own suite of installers or go to the vendor’s website to get current versions, or update from within each program.

Sadly, many updaters, including SUP, update to NOT the most current update, and I have to go to the other software vendor’s website anyway after SUP leaves me with a version of updated software that loads and says “update available”.

So, if SUP suggests an update is available for a particular software, especially browsers, I just open the browser and update it from within the browser, and that’s much more accurate than SUP.

For me, like Ninite, this is a useful tool for setting up a new Windows installation, but one of many, many tools.

I use the free GlarySoft FilePuma Update Detector more often to maintain a working system as it lists what I need and opens web pages for each program for me to download manually, and put each installer where I prefer, individually, much better control.

Recommendations for improvement:

MAKE IT WORK AGAIN.

Next, please offer to update to and or install a specific version, such as the last version of Foxit PDF reader that includes a PRINTER, not the current update that no longer has a PDF printer, or that last version of TeraCopy that includes the classic user interface, not the current ribbon mess.

Lack of refined sophisticated controls such as version selection means this will never ascend to being a prime tool, but instead will leave this as one tool, if GlarySoft ever gets it working again, among many, all compromised.

And, hey if it doesn’t work at all then why are we here?

Has ANYONE been able to update or install ANY program using GlarySoft SUP Software Update Pro, even just ONE program, even using the non-Pro version that promises to allow only one program to be updated or installed at a time?

For me, GlarySoft SUP Software Update Pro has failed to connect to the servers since before February 2021, on any computer, anywhere, using any ISP Internet Service Provider, from the Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, US area, and I just tried using a VPN to The Czech Republic, it failed to connect, also, I give up.

I’ve emailed GlarySoft, and aside from them suggesting that no one else has a problem, and I should re-check my firewalls and anti-virus ( yeah, it fails with firewalls OFF and anti-virus OFF ), they say they’ll pass my suggestions on to their techs, have a nice day.

So I’m asking my peeps here at SOS:

– has anyone got GlarySoft SUP Software Update Pro to work, if so, where on the planet are you and on what Windows operating system?

– has anyone ALSO experienced failure, and just moved on without reporting, and where are you, and on what Windows operating system?

Thanks.
