On Linux with Open Office 2.x series, updates did not download the
entire 100+ MB packages. Still, there was a decent 30+ MB of files, so
about a third of the code files seems to have changed. On Windows,
where the OOo packagers cannot know what other possibly conflicting
software you may have installed, it seems reasonable that they would
include all in a single download. I suppose that the package managers
knew what they were doing.
