This update manager provides the ability for you to easily and effectively keep up to date with the latest release of Joomla!. It supports the ability to use cURL or PHP wrappers to download files with both supporting the use of proxies to handle downloads on networks where direct internet access may not be available. The tool also provides support for using FTP mode on sites with Joomla!'s 1.5 extractor or a back ported copy of the new Joomla! 1.6 extractor libraries. There is support for manually uploading packages to the site and using this local version and the extension has the ability to update itself and can be prevented from installing an update if the version of the component may not handle the update correctly.
Best of all, this extension is completely free!
Note: This extensions requires PHP5 and will not work on PHP4.
What else can be said.. IT JUST WORKS!!

After dreading updating all my clients sites for so long, this has made it a breeze - not only to do the updates, but even installing then updating sites is several times faster than the usual grind I have to deal with
THANKS!! FANTASTIC WORK!!

This is so easy to use, and saves so much time, especially if you're running a hole host of Joomla sites for clients. I particularly like the informing you at each stage what's happening. Thanks!
Seriously brilliant - let's hope this ends up in the core of 1.6.
Thanks Sam, for making our lives simpler :)

This is the second automatic update utility I've used (the first being Joomla Updater) and it does everything! I had one website where the Joomla Updater overwrote the template, because it automatically used the full package, but this extension gives you the option of either the full or patch package. It's what every Joomla web developer needs. It saves me so much time over doing it the traditional way, and it works perfectly. Way to go, developers!
This is magic!! So quick. I have now installed it across multiple sites. I have used other updaters before but they tried to be too "fancy". This is simple and VERY effective. In one case I had the wrong path in my config file (as a result of installing a backup) and it helpfully pointed it out.
Thank yoy! Excellent and well wroking component!!!
This is a "must have" Joomla! Extension that I recommend for anyone creating a Joomla! Web site. Within seconds by clicking a button, you can upgrade your site to the newest release. Glad to hear this will be part of core Joomla! 1.6. Thanks, Sam, for making this available to us!
