For anyone with a HUGE number of accounts to download, Q2008 H&B handles it
better than previous versions.
I posted this back on September 26th, 2007:

Well, Citi was down for me most of the day, so my Scheduled Update did not
complete.
I decided to go ahead and do a full One Step Update.
Usually I've split my Direct Connect and Express Web Connect downloads since
even Q2007 H&B would crash if I tried to do ALL my accounts with OSU, OR
Scheduled Update.
To my surprise OSU completed without a hiccup.

What downloaded:
46 Direct Connect accounts spread over 28 different login IDs.
24 Express Web Connect accounts spread over 19 different login IDs.


At least for me, Q2008 R3 is a WINNER!

Since upgrading from Q07 to Q08 H/B w/ SP5 yesterday, I've encountered no
less than a half dozen unexpected application exits while downloading one
step updates, something I never experienced with Q07. It's something that
Intuit's overseas programmers still haven't gotten a good handle on. But
it's inexcusable that the application should just disappear if an unhandled
condition occurs during OSU.

Steve:

Just the facts, sir, will be quite sufficient.
Adding slurs just undermines your credibility.

Obviously your situation is the exact opposite of mine.
How many accounts are YOU trying to download?
Have you tried going back to 2007 with an older data set to see if it also
happens?

BTW, I won't be responding to "Steve Larson" because you have joined my
ignore list ;-)

They, in fact, don't yet have a handle on the problems with OSU, otherwise
the program wouldn't exit during the operation. I'm downloading about 20
different accounts from around 8 different institutions. I've noticed that
the exits were occurring most frequently when doing repeated one step
updates while setting up new accounts. Whatever the case, it's an unhandled
bug, and there should never be a case that just trying to download updates
should cause a catastrophic untrapped program exit. If that's a slur, then
so be it that it makes me a racist, a bigot, a xenophobe, child molester,
axe murderer, or whatever else people want to imagine. In the immortalized
words of our simpleton-in-chief, on the backs of the 3000+ soldiers' deaths
his utterence resulted in, "Bring 'em on!"
