"The great thing about this process is that: You only have to download a single file per VM"

I guess that was true back when you originally wrote this, but it seems they're back to the old days of multiple files. Any word on whether you'll go back to single files?

Also FWIW 30 day expiry really is still a pain in the butt, if we can restart twice for 30 days could the expiry just get pushed out to 90? Currently it means no matter what, every thirty days you have to mess around with your VMs instead of getting work done.
