Curse Client is a very popular utility among MMORPG players; it allows them to manage their game addons, complete with installation and update capabilities. The application is backed not only by Curse's huge addon database but also by the popularity of the games it supports: World of Warcraft, Warhammer, Rift, Oblivion, Skyrim, Minecraft and Runes of Magic.
I found that using this addon client has an some immediate advantages: saves the time otherwise spent downloading single addons and placing them in the game directory. In addition to that, Curse Client alerts the users each time a new addon release is out, prompting its update.
From within the client you can search for all of the game addons available on the website. The wizard user interface will guide you through the process of adding the disk paths to the installed games.
The Curse Client version for Mac is a bit behind in features to the Windows one, which means you will not be able to backup addon settings or synchronize them to different computers.
Considering that these types of tools are quite scarce, Curse Client is only in competition with itself and the difference in features between Windows and Mac releases. If you play one of the games supported, the application is a must.
X-Elerated Guides Client allows you to install and update the Warcraft guides.
