It would be good to be able to disabled the auto download code for the jdbc libs
The reason being the current updater code doesnt work for all OS's e.g. Windows amd64, FreeBSD, etc which means the drivers fall back to pure java which is very slow and its also unclear which version of the jdbc drivers its downloading so they could easily be old or buggy.
Its great for the newbie but for the competent admin its more of a hindrance.
