Took me a couple of hours too, and that is with a high speed (80 MB/sec) cable internet link.  
Early in the new CCC era I saw an "Update all" for Sonar, but apparently it was removed. It would have come in handy today with all the manual operations.

Thanks you for the response Craig. Its too bad the Command Center has to reload every time you download something, it would give me back a minute or so. I like getting it all done and forgetting about it...but if this gets fixed in July "GREAT" :)

I don't know if it will or not. I usually attend to other things during updates, like answering questions about updates , having a snack, coiling cables...I guess I lump CCC updates in with other maintenance.

It's not just the re-search, it's the idea that I need to click to continue, wait for the search, click to update, wait for the download, rinse, repeat.....

Yes, you'd think CCC could assume that nothing new became available between when it did its first scan and subsequent updates.

Agreed...I am surprised that this is how this was designed. Regardless of Cakewalk intentions I hope that this gets re-designed/corrected on any future large releases to either Sonar or Command Center. Chalk one plus for the old way. 

I think Cakewalk originally assumed the CCC would be more of a "click the button and download everything" situation. But when they added all these different elements to download, people wanted them broken down to a more granular level so that could choose what to download, and download some things but not others to save time. It was probably my fault for doing sample and loop libraries . 
 
So my theory is that the scanning process that was supposed to do a pass on a couple of things and then go away after the download ended up doing more downloads, so more passes. 

With all due respect to Cakewalk, CCC is very much a version 1.0 product, with all the flaws and oddities that implies. Personally, I'm happy to cut a bit of slack at least until 1.1, and I'm happy about how imminent that seems to be.

wow, Foxboro took me 6-7 min..tops. Was finished before I realized. Just clicked the yellow Sonar and CCC did everything at once . Less than 7 min I'm sure

I go to my account and download all the files suggested by CCC. That way I can have 12 different downloads happening at a time. By the time the last one has downloaded I'm already uodating them using CCC.

Once the files are downloaded I copy the, to the Command Centre Download folder. CCC sees them there when you select an item to install. Still not super quick but heaps faster than waiting for each individual item to be downloaded then installed only for the cycle to start again.

Give it a try.

Mudgel,
 
Do you do that in command center or some other way?   I can only do one at a time in CCC and I share the frustration of the original poster and everyone else.  Hoping the "Update all" buttons comes back
