 > This is an improvement in the event that the download has completed, but
 it still seems to have issues if you re-enter the "Check for updates"
 dialog multiple times while a download is in progress.

 Kathy and I are unable to reproduce whatever you experienced (we tried on
 a Mac OS system and on an Ubuntu system).  When we choose "Check for Tor
 Browser Update…" while the download is in progress, the window opens and
 shows "Downloading Tor Browser" along with the download progress bar.  It
 does seem to take a few seconds to set the progress bar to a non-zero
 point and the "time remaining" estimate is much too low, but it doesn't
 seem terrible.

 What behavior are you seeing?
