FYI - It's interesting that the Quicken Forum "moderators" have time to read each message for "niceness", but can't seem to convey info and status from their own company to their users.....

well let's see - given that you're an idiot if you expect help from Quicken.... we'll try and LEAD you to some answers since it might be hard for you to FOLLOW what others are saying, and then we'll GET OUT OF THE WAY while you try and fix everything.
download - what do you mean by download... quotes, news - which are working or the "web portion" which involves the Alerts, which is not working The financial institutions and their account downloads are not affected - they work.
upload - only focus here is uploading your Quicken software portfolio to the web based server... it's broken.
Looking at the bottom portion of your One-Step Update screen... Update Portfolio - broken Update Banking Accts - broken Update Reminders - broken Download Web Entry Transactions - broken and no longer available
In addition - it appears that each version of quicken software actually contacts/uses a different URL to contact "their" specific online quote server. Instead of having a common server for all versions, it looks like each version has their own world which may further complicate the matter... totally flawed design.

SO - depending upon what others are referencing, they are confusing the issue...by not explaining exactly what they mean - sorta like yourself.
