5.1 still does not have a Download Only option

"Added an option to prevent installer files from being deleted after installation"

This is not a Download Only option...

The user should not have to stop the installation process to just get the installer files.

You might look at how UniGetUI and QuickInstaller implement this.

I second this issue
The "Download only" option is still missing
This was a clever feature of the old PatchMyPc::
 Just download into a directory and the decide when and who you want to install an app
So please bring back this feature

I want this too. "Download Only" is the way I always use PatchMyPC, and cancelling the auto-started install is not the same thing.

This is another of PMPC's defining features, that has to be restored!

We need the ability to provision our installer cache before we later go to work finding and applying updates on our other PCs.

@OldNavyGuy, this was mi misunderstanding. We had a few similar requests, I unmerged the "Download Only" idea and marked as Noted.

Could you help me understand you scenario and use case for how you use the download only option for getting binaries and the problem you are solving?
