Quicken 2008 H&B downloads LARGE numbers of accounts better than previous versions

For anyone with a HUGE number of accounts to download, Q2008 H&B handles it better than previous versions. I posted this back on September 26th, 2007:

Well, Citi was down for me most of the day, so my Scheduled Update did notcomplete. I decided to go ahead and do a full One Step Update. Usually I've split my Direct Connect and Express Web Connect downloads since even Q2007 H&B would crash if I tried to do ALL my accounts with OSU, OR Scheduled Update. To my surprise OSU completed without a hiccup.

What downloaded:

46 Direct Connect accounts spread over 28 different login IDs. 24 Express Web Connect accounts spread over 19 different login IDs.

At least for me, Q2008 R3 is a WINNER!

Since upgrading from Q07 to Q08 H/B w/ SP5 yesterday, I've encountered no less than a half dozen unexpected application exits while downloading one step updates, something I never experienced with Q07. It's something that Intuit's overseas programmers still haven't gotten a good handle on. But it's inexcusable that the application should just disappear if an unhandled condition occurs during OSU.

Steve:

Just the facts, sir, will be quite sufficient. Adding slurs just undermines your credibility.

Obviously your situation is the exact opposite of mine. How many accounts are YOU trying to download? Have you tried going back to 2007 with an older data set to see if it also happens?

BTW, I won't be responding to "Steve Larson" because you have joined my ignore list ;-)

They, in fact, don't yet have a handle on the problems with OSU, otherwise the program wouldn't exit during the operation. I'm downloading about 20 different accounts from around 8 different institutions. I've noticed that the exits were occurring most frequently when doing repeated one step updates while setting up new accounts. Whatever the case, it's an unhandled bug, and there should never be a case that just trying to download updates should cause a catastrophic untrapped program exit. If that's a slur, then so be it that it makes me a racist, a bigot, a xenophobe, child molester, axe murderer, or whatever else people want to imagine. In the immortalized words of our simpleton-in-chief, on the backs of the 3000+ soldiers' deaths his utterence resulted in, "Bring 'em on!"
