Many thanks for your reply, Hans. At least on my system, I think every file is downloaded uncompressed. With a low speed connection (here, the service isn’t great all the time), having to download over 400 files is a killer. The storage space on disk is irrelevant, I totally agree with you. I wish I could say that large updates such as these weren’t a problem in some cases. But sometimes this isn’t true here. With incremental updates, the downloading process takes way shorter in subsequent updates (as Alan pointed out). But the first time it might take too much (so the script quits). > the idea is to provide the user with all he needs as archive so no > dependencies (apart from a compiler).

I’m not extremely confident, but I hope I will manage to update ConTeXt at the office (next working day).
