Jose Maria Pacheco de Souza ([email protected]) asked about temporary
files after an -update- stopped with an error:
in the thread, there is a situation that is not clear to me: when we
update Stata, using the internet, sometimes after a big set of files
arrive, the downloading stops with a error message. Then, we have to
download again, from the beginning, loosing the files already arrived.
Is it possible to avoid this time consumming "recovery" process?
Unfortunately, no. However, this is for the safety of your copy of
Stata.
The reason is that Stata is always very careful to not change your
copy of Stata during an update unless all files were downloaded
successfully.
