With majority of installers kept on a local > server, I doubt it's worth the effort. I think a "/downloadonly" switch should be easily possible with development version of Wpkg (if I understand Marco correctly, for the download xml statement). So there comes into my mind for WPKG Client: why not define different command lines for startup and shutdown, so the execution * during startup AND shutdown * during startup OR shutdown * startup: wpkg.js /downloadonly, shutdown: wpkg.js /synchronize could be defined by administrator ref. within settings.xml? This would be another astonishing feature of Wpkg!
