It may well be that the ISP is not too clever, but the right thing would be for you to ensure that such ISPs do not put a spanner in the wheel. I downloaded the 'new' version but stopped installing when I saw the invitation to 'repair' or 'remove'. I would image that some users may have accepted the invitation with whatever adverse/unwanted consequences. User-friendlyness[sic] would be for you to accept the inefficiencies of the ISPs and deal with them.

Think about what you're asking for here.

You're asking Stefan to police all the world's ISPs and download
hosting sites and make sure that they are keeping things "fresh". And
then somehow exert pressure on them to not screw up the works?

Should he do this before or after he's finished faster-than-light travel?

There is an official download site. Stefan releases the software
there. There are official mirrors, some may update slower than others.
Beyond that, what your ISP and unofficial mirror sites do is
completely outside his control. You, as the customer, have leverage
with your ISP to get their problems fixed. Stefan does not.
