That's fine for those of us with lots of bandwidth and expert knowledge.  For
those that have poor or expensive bandwidth, they're paying a very hefty
premium.  Some parts of the world pay by the amount of traffic and even some
US ISPs are looking at or already are capping the traffic downloads.

I'm happy with my own bandwidth and the price I pay - I'm fighting this issue
for the little guys!

For the record, the current size of the 7.2 errata in the i386 directory is
469,012,837 bytes.  At 5kBps (for a 56kbps modem), this would amount to 26 
HOURS of transfer time.
