The DLM finds the latest installer(s) for you and notifies you of what's available. The main advantage is that it can pause/resume a download, or resume if interrupted. It's not so bad. :-)

If you have P11**Pro** and use Queue Manager on remote machines (render slaves), then only update as far as 11.0.8.34338 (SR8); the latest SR does not have a Queue-only installer, so DLM won't update your remotes, and then your workstation can't control the remotes (build numbers must match).
