Automated manual transmissions like DSG shift up when you let go of the throttle - mimicing coasting.
They shift down when speed drops below the threshold for a given gear.

Even on VW's highly acclaimed DSG boxes, forced downshifts are a tad slow and jerky compared to the brilliant upshifts.
Yet these gearboxes still shift faster than most mortals that drive manual cars.
