Even I feel so. Had a bad experience while Updating Anna. So, now I always try to wait 1-2 days before Updating any firmware of software.BTW, Does Kies always takes so much of time to download the updates. Present Download speed is 1.5 mbps and its still 12 % downloaded in last 20 minutes 🙁Should I cancel it and Update via Handset ??

i thought kies was supposed to be the more reliable way to get the update?

Okies. Will wait .

BTW Kies too got updated today

Kies downloads the whole firmware file which is 800mb or so and then makes changes to your phone.

^ 800 MB firmware? Really? What have they put in that!

The whole rom. The update usually is a few mbs but the whole rom is huge.

How to upgrade Samsung Galaxy S3 firmware with Samsung Kies?

That's a whole lot for a ROM. I still wonder what shit they have put into it to bloat it so much. Most of the AOKP ICS ROMs were around the 180 MB mark.
