Upgrading to Apple OS X Mountain Lion does introduces it's own set of annoyances, and one of them is auto system updates which does not allow system to power down until finished. With a slow internet speed and GB's of update to download this can be a real annoyance, as shown in the screenshot below the update would take more then a day to finish.

Luckily, there is a way out as demonstrated below.

Apple's MAC OS X built-in software upgrade utility gets the work done, but if you are looking for something more powerful with ability to pause and resume downloads there exists an alternative method.

Apple provides users with direct download links to software's and updates on there website, users can grab these links and download via there choice of download manager utility with pause and resume support.
