As posted before, I'd really love to see 3) first. 1) is very slow and inconvenient, and 2) requires additional setups and firewall configuration. Not everyone is able/allowed to use P2P software. Another drawback of a monolithic download is upgradability. There are new milestones of Eclipse every few weeks. The Eclipse version you provide with the download is probably already outdated.
