Yeah, I know, absurd.)Ĭontent Caching is not as easy or as precise as combo updaters were (for one thing, I don’t know of any way to force a Mac to only use a content cache… it’s just supposed to happen “automagically” and we know how that goes. It works sometimes and other times says that the page does not exist. (Note: I have had some trouble loading some pages on Apple’s support page in Safari.
