 My Visual Studio crashes every time when I download the Json.NET package. Please fix it.  NuGet uses the same ideas as the package management that's been available for some years in the Linux world, and succeeds at replicating the basic functionality which makes it useful for simple projects. Unfortunately, in classic MS style, it's failed to replicate the more advanced features such as the ability to install the package source code.

VS users have needed something like this for a long time!  perfect for any developer!!!!! Update package dependency is realy fast!!     I have never once been able to install or upgrade from Visual Studio without an error. Even on VS 2012 now, I am still having problems.      Excellent tool. I've never had an issue with this and I've never minded having to uninstall and re-installing on new version releases, takes 2 minutes. The benefits far out weight anything negative.
