No please not, if a packadge is combined and compressed it's much easier to
download it, and please think on people like me, who just have a nice ...
modem with up to 56k (which in real is something arround 48k anyway :-)) -
this would increase download time a lot -

Yes that is what I ment, parts of the file will be stored on the computer
localy (depending what has been installed) and than the download tool can
easy check which things are new.
