setup.exe bandwidth waste

[lists@m8y.org]

Since I'm on the mailing list now, might as well ask something that has bugged me for some time.
Far too often, a connection fails at 99% of a huge download (say tetex doc).

When something like this happens under gentoo, it does a continuation.

Why doesn't setup.exe check the MD5, if fails, try a continuation, then MD5 after that as well?

I feel guilty wasting 10-15MB of bandwidth just to redownload something.

Also, on a related note, I was curious if Cygwin does incremental updates, or if it just keeps one massive binary per version.

Thanks,
Derek
