Hey, I would propose a simple solution: Have a Acquire::Max-Pdiffs option. This is the number of pdiffs that will be downloaded, if more are required, a full download is done instead. The exact value would be dependent on the actual connection, but it should be possible to specify a decent default. People with really fast internet connections can tweak this option themselves (if it gets documented, see #376029).
Also, this option might be used to replace Acquire::Pdiffs, for Max-Pdiffs = 0 would be always download full files, a special value "all" could be used to always do Pdiffs. Later, a special value "auto" might be added when there is some autodetecting mechanism that takes into account connection speed from previous updates. Gr.
