just want to report my experience with this automatic update. from build-125-full to 134 automatic update (default install paths) first attempt failed to complete, with these errors below: Checking for updates. Please wait for result. Update to build 134 found. Click "Download" to continue or "Update Automatically" to complete all step sequentially.

There was a replay format change, so that might not be related, but thanks for posting everything else. Good feedback.
I'm seeing the same issue, but with cmaps.mas.rfbz2, about to kick off my 3rd attempt at auto-update (1st failed attempt was was a manual update)
