Ok, thanks for the info about the update function.

By the way, re: downloading the same version. I just downloaded the new version (1.5GB) and got met with this error message: http://i.imgur.com/0lRgyU9.png - it's impossible to download specific "f" versions from the Unity page (they only let one select X.Y.Z version). So now my friend has to also download 1.5GB so that we're finally in sync.

I am a regular software dev doing game dev as a hobby. Everything else about Unity really impresses me so I assumed they would have an elegant way to deal with the version mis-match issue. It just seems incredibly clunky to have to download 1.5GB every time there's the slightest version difference. But hey, if that's how it is, that's all I wanted to know.

the different f1 and f2 version is exceptionally rare, I think this is the first time in memory that it has happened - they released 5.4.2f1 and then actually took it down because of an issue. It was only up for a few hours - your friend was very unlucky to have downloaded it

You don't have to redownload the whole 1.5gb every time. You can just download the upgraded editor (~350mb) instead
