Hi Tobias,
That is not entirely true. You can have a local package cache (part of
the advanced installer settings). If you have that, OSGeo4W only
downloads the new/updated packages.

Hi there!
I've read your discussion about the soft freeze for QGIS3 and the
idea of "release once, update often".
Right now, OSGeo4W's installer for QGIS3 (on Windows) redownloads
a whole bunch of packages on every update of a nightly build.
The amount of data transmitted is not negligible.
There are plenty of users worldwide who do not have unlimited access
to the Internet. Some users access updates via the mobile network,
etc.
Could you agree with OSGeo4W how to improve the process? It would be
useful to transfer only the changed files and not the complete QGIS
package, which may contain only one or two updated files.
Best regards,
Tobias
