Re: Antivirus?
Avast here. Not great, but decent. Panda's detection seemed better, but I prefer local heuristic scanning as opposed to cloud-based scans (bandwidth). And, if you use multiple computers, Avast for Business is free. In addition to the desktop app, it provides a web-based central management console ...

Re: Windows Update fail
I had the same problem on an old laptop yesterday.
Got around the ridiculousness by using a 3rd party tool called Windows Update Offline Installer:

It worked great. Maybe it could help you, too.
Thanks!

Yeah. TFS is a horrid lump of WTF. The sad thing is, most MS shops, at least here around Denver, are using it. Hope that stops soon.

git or Mercurial. I like both. They're free. For repo cloud hosting: github.com is nice, but so is bitbucket.org. Yeah, try not to keep files you don't need versioned. Isolate them somewhere else, especially large files. Could you use cloud file sharing like Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive for ...

Re: Random Q
UE4 does not have native P2P support. Descendant Studios would have to build an implementation into UE4 on their own.
P2P is on the UE4 roadmap, marked under 'Wishlist/Backlog', with 180 votes so far; go vote!

I have a [really dumb] question. I went through the threads and couldn't find it, but I apologize if it's on here somewhere. Does the adapter only provide a DirectInput interface for Windows? Or does it [also?] provide an XInput interface? If not, would something like this be possible? I don't know ...
