I agree :-) So - we have some plans to shrink that size that should get
us to 250Mb or less.

Hopefully the sanity of the size grows with time, and (generally)
increasing internet bandwidth.

So - that is also something that can be done by individuals; however
there are ferocious maintainance, and mirroring costs to pay for
multiplying ~170Mb by 50 languages ;-) particularly when the vast
majority of that is in fact 100% shared. And we want to avoid those
problems.
Anyhow - thanks for your input :-) rest assured we are working on it,
and thanks for your support ! :-)
ATB,
Michael.
