I have had to click each of the hyper links for the upgrades
to my Planet installation and as you point out, it is a drag.
I may be misinformed, but IIRC there is no FTP server for
the Planet.

I was considering putting together a list before hand and then
using wget to automatically download the files via http.
Still not as easy as "apt-get dist-upgrade" but better than
having to click every one of 50 updates.
