Okay seriously?  e:Most of (battuta seemed pretty cool about it) you guys totally misunderstood what I said.  For instance, I'll just respond to one of the points.

Also to the guy that wants to make a single table change, thereby making everyone out of date easily, **** you.   

WAIIIIIT a sec.... If someone makes a single table change, you wouldn't have to download a 200 MB (MegaByte) file BTW. AoA and WiH's Core files (that is where the table and non-asset related stuff goes.(for the tech savvy)). Is just, I dunno, ~500 KBs (KiloBytes, just in-case someone doesn't understand).

If it were one centralized download, you would have to download a 2 GB (GigaByte) file for just a few kb's of data. It fail to see how this would be economical and feasible in any way.

Honestly you guys could just offer a big zip file, then a bunch of different downloads for all of the VP's.  You could then update a VP and people would still only have to download that one VP's zip file and the update process wouldn't be buggered.

Its rather annoying when people get angry at me and then obviously didn't even read my post I mean holy ****.

I fail to see how that contradicts what anyone else said. The big file download is still a bad idea for people with bad/slow internet.

The way I see it, all that's being asked here is to have a torrent file so that people with terribad internet will quit complaining about any corruptions and disconnects but are too lazy to read instructions/download files individually.

It's rather annoying when people don't know what they want and then obviously didn't even read everyone else's posts.

To be honest, I assumed you wrote "then" even though you meant "than", since that tends to happen a lot on the internet. My bad. Though I still don't fully understand why there should be both one big file AND a bunch of smaller files. But wudevvs.

I think he refers to what FSU did a while ago, when they proposed both a MV_Complete package, and several smaller VPs equivalent to that package. Thing is, FSU abandoned that way of releasing stuff for excellent reasons.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.
