I'd like to make a request and ask a favor. First some background. Each OOo 1.9.xx download is ~75MB. This take about 4 hours to download on 56K.

Now, the favor part. Could someone who has both 1.9.77 and 1.9.79 on Windows try one or more of the above methods and see how it'd work? And if you don't mind, send me a copy too.
I don't feel like such a large download. I'm on 56k and I don't like to spend an evening downloading OOo, hence my suggestion. I've done tests with:
1) http://sourceforge.net/projects/jojodiff/ (dos APP with other OSs too)
and I've found it excellent (on other programs). Here's how someone on broadband can do it:
a. Extract JoJodiff
b. get both OOo versions (and rename then ooo.[old/new].zip)
c. place jdiff.exe, ooo.old.zip and ooo.new.zip in the same directory
d. run "jdiff ooo.old.zip ooo.new.zip patch.ooo" e. Check patch size
f. report back to this list.
Could someone please try this? I don't have the resource to.

Hi Robin,
I gave this a shot on linux. I used xdelta, though with horrible results.
m77 ~95MB m79 ~95MB ooo.patch ~94MB
maybe someone with more experience could come up with better results, but from what I saw, downloading a 94MB patch kinda defeats the purpose, eh?
