Thanks for the note about trying a HDD; I'd thought about trying it but instead just picked up a USB stick at Microcenter on my way home yesterday.
2010 E93, 9/01/09 build. It sees the 2013 update via USB, but for the 2012 update I had to use DVDs as it wouldn't see the USB. *shrug* Sergej came through with FSC as fast as ever and I'll start the update later today. I highly recommend going through Sergej (*****************), he's been great both times I've worked with him.
I'm also seeding the map torrent for a few more days.
