That's why I like to keep my OS updated by weekly CVS
check-outs.  You never have to grab the whole shebang in one go.

There aren't many third-party packages with CVS access yet, but
the list is growing.  SourceForge is helping that process, I
think.  Wine provides diffs between versions.

Packages like StarOffice5.2 really hurt (but even the month that
I grabbed that, I stayed under my 500M limit).
