I work on a mobile 4G link that has a very restrictive bandwidth limit and very expensive overages. I have been very careful when using this connection, but my most recent month of service had more than $200 of overages.
Upon inspection, my regular internet use accounts for less than 256MiB per day, but the Upwork tracker keeps frustratingly downloading its update in the background without any option to prevent this. I have tried to execute the update, but it segfaults on my system and the new version does not work. I don't care about the new version, I just want to stop the current one (which does work) from downloading hundreds of MB every day, for no reason.
SERIOUSLY, why is it REdownloading EVERY TIME?! Why can you not STORE THE FILE LOCALLY and checksum it to verify that we DON'T need to redownload the package? This is such a frustrating experience that I end up not running the tracker at all, and have to file manual hours, which stresses the relationship with my clients.
In addition to this problem, the work diary user interface is repeatedly changed. At one time, we could log over existing hours to 'fill in the gaps' and get full 8 hour days, despite system or tracker crashes. Now I must log the gaps individually. Why do you want to frustrate people out of your ecosystem?
