I would assume that the Firmware Updater 4.0 is downloading the updates from a Teknoconsolas server somewhere. Waninkoko has patched the IOS's, and these are the ones that get installed. I don't think Nintendo would allow Waninkoko to store his patched IOS's on their servers! LOL!
it download the official IOS and THEN the aplication patches it on the fly... this is an opensource method introduced by patchmii/twiizers and is now used everywhere (CIOS installer, IOS Downgrader, etc)
patched IOS are not stored anywhere, this would be illegal for a website to host them

Okay... So if this is the case, why does Waninkoko's ReadMe file say, "...Thanks to it you can keep some features like Trucha bug that affected first IOS versions..."? Wouldn't this mean that the IOS's are patched??
Just curious...
this is a mistake
IOS60 (the one used by System Menu 4.0) is patched (exactly like what IOS downgrader do)
IOS61 is not patched (it's only used by the New Shop Channel, do not require to be patched, nothing indicates that Waninkoko downloads it ayway)
System menu is not patched (afaik)
Shop Channel is not patched (is it even downloaded ?)
you can see this as a selective update
I also prefer the official update ways preceded by a patched IOS60 installation
patched IOS60 won't be overwrite by the official update because the version number did not change

Is there a way to update my Wii without wifi? I can't find a IOS60-64-....wad for my PAL Wii so far.
Does someone have a direct Download Link from the Nintendo Servers? This won't be illegal at all.
