I think it downloads less, but I cannot guarantee that.

Probably. But you might also want a display manager such as
lightdm/slim/gdm and maybe a desktop environment such as KDE or the
like. Installing the "kde" metapackage will do that, but it will also
pull in a lot of other stuff you probably don’t want.
Knowing how to use apt-get etc. on the command line might also
be a good idea.
Best regards,
