    Hence why Fedora Linux actually recently removed delta updates for DNF. Turns out it used more data in retries than just downloading a whole package again.

      Interesting, didnt know that! That sounds like a fixable issue though…

        I think they have moved from trying to fix it in DNF, to using the capabilities found in BTRFS for Copy on write. Can’t quite remember exactly.
