»Compression has limits, if it's really 20% of the size using a basic compression format then someone at SE should be losing their job right about now for having us download 5x as much as needed.

»Taken from my computer, my install is typical. I had 3400 files to download, someone else claimed 3800, so I'm assuming I wasn't missing anything. These files were all edited today, and the total matches the amount I have already downloaded. If the update is 250 MB, why is POL giving everyone 1.5GB?
If SE stated the download is 200mb, and you're getting 1.5gigs doesn't that just mean that the pol downloads compressed files and uncompresses them? I mean they posted those update figures after releasing the disc. You're not really downloading 5x as you need to.
Also, I may be wrong, but I think they even mentioned compression on the playonline update news when they changed it. It used to download everything compressed, then uncompressed them, but due to hdd restraints on ps2 they altered it to uncompress one file at a time as it downloads? You're not really downloading 5x as you need to.
