Downloading updates through Stardock Central

I just noticed that there are small incremental updates on the media and tutorials. But to update them I have to download the complete - several hundred - megs worth of files. Is this normal? Shouldn't the update just download what was changed?

oh no!

Stardock, please respond to this question! I am on a 56K connection and CANNOT download those files again until I go back to college, and that's not until September! PLEASE, tell us a way around this horrible system :

There haven't been any updates to those files as far as I know, just ignore them.

The latest stuff I have seen is from May 10th, and yes I believe there was small updates to them files than.

Good luck with school, stay focused.

So, why would I have to download the entire ~800megs for just an incremental update? There must be some better method than this. Is everyone ignoring them? When bigger changes are implemented, will I have to re-download the entire thing again? This smells funny.

No kidding - there really is no way for me to redownload these files at all. . . SD, can I just order a CD of the changed files? lol

I appreciated the response from Yarlen, but would it be possible to get another official response on this issue?

Any further information on those incremental updates?

1.0.013 --> 1.0.014 movies
1.0.042 --> 1.0.043 media
1.0.015 --> 1.0.016 tutorials

And this would require me to re-download ~850 megs.

So, no one has any official comments on these minor version changes? Or why the entire download is required even though they are supposedly 'minor'?
