I am getting back into using linux and I consider myself a below average user, kinda relearning stuff as I go.  

I am using Gentoo linux and I came across PS and was very excited to see what an open source project can do compared to the big boys.  

To get to the point..  I installed PS using portage and everything went fine, then I did an update(which took a while since my dl speed is 25k/sec, when I started the game(after the setup was ran) I typed in my uname/pass and I got an error saying my versions didnt match the server, and I looked around the PS site and saw 3.11 was ready for testing on linux systems, so I downloaded the patch and ran it, and that installed alright.  I typed in the location to my installation directory and the install did its thing.   After the install the updater ran(which is still currently doing) and I noticed that files that it was patching where the same size as the update I did about 20min before.  My concern is, does the updater program check if it really needs to update/replace a file or does it just download all the files again?  

My concern is here in Australia we have bandwidth limits and I dont want to update the game at a hit of 500 megs a go.  

I would like to see a overall progress on the updater in the Terminal version if possible.  

Cant wait to play PS.
