If you set up the launcher to auto-launch CoH, it'll download the updates before it lets you in to play.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
The launcher will 'trickle download' the updates if you have it running. If there has been an update and you load the launcher, it will give you a big UPDATE button which will download the update at full speed.
There is no good reason to keep the launcher running. If you know there is going to be a big update, like a new Issue, you can always load the launcher for that specific event. I did that for the last issue. I loaded the launcher before going to work and when I got home the patch was downloaded.
