My dear brother narendra jii,
Namaskar.
Very sorry for the late reply.
I was too busy on my work that's why i couldn't reply.

This is really a good solution. I was not aware about offline update.
I will do it. The place where i will download updates has Windows OS.
Just i have few questions regarding  this......
