This one surprise me too.

I really prefer to decide when I want to download things:
Sometimes I use my PowerBook on dial-up or even thru GPRS and that  
would be a terrible time to start a download, at 0,5 EUR for 100 KB...

What's the benefit except saving one clic, anyway?

I can't imagine if every apps start to act like this... brrr.
