Some smaller updating choices

Post by tobylane »

Would it be possible to have some other way of downloading, like a diff patch file or rsync? For Windows and Mac at least, the others probably can't have binaries. It would be quicker and less bandwidth used.

Because it uses too much bandwidth to download a 10MB installer once a year?

We host our files through sourceforge, and they have plenty of bandwidth.

It's not worth the administrative overhead and very few people would know what to do with a patch file. Sorry.
