Few software companies like the "patch" update process these days; it isn't
just Microsoft (Turnpike, a British company [actually part of Demon, but
independent of it] insist on a complete download too).

One reason sometimes given is that a wide number of patches are needed to
cover various different versions that might be out there. (I don't buy this as
one could always just use lots of incremental patches, doing a complete
downoad if one got so far behind that the total size of the patches exceeded
that of a download, but whatever.)
