Update size info
« on: February 22, 2010, 01:58:15 pm »
It would be really nice for those of us with limited/slow connections, if when there is an update there was something in the announcement to tell us how large it is.  2 Mb is one thing, but anything over about 10-12 Mb requires some planning, at least for me.  Starting an update sight unseen can end up tying up my computer for hours, so it would be nice to at least be able to scehdule while I'm sleeping or such.

How big is the 5.2 update?

In the order of 450MB or so if I recall correctly.

The new installers are little under 400Mb. If updating works (it has some problems at the moment, not sure if you should try), it will probably download less, but still a lot (as sounds moved around, materials.zip was changed, etc). But it now should show you a progress bar and download speed, so you would at least be able to estimate how long the first file takes.
