Surely the current version of JTCS is vastly superior to the last Talonsoft version, with much more to come? Why would anybody want to use the Talonsoft version when this new updated product is available.

I don't think you can argue that JTCS is not the product you expected it to be, all the updates so far have been discussed in depth on the forums long before they have been released, much more so than most game titles I've ever come across. Is the answer just don't patch past a certain level if there are things you want to do for yourself?

OOB editors, Map Editors etc. Is there a way to turn the update download to where you download the file instead of it blindly installing.

Not sure. Try updating a "dud" location.
