328MB again?

It's so someone installing the game fresh only has to download the most recent patch and not each little patch individually...
It does suck for us who've been around for every patch... but someone who has not played since like January would probably be happy about it
But you're right Akuun, you'd think splitting them up to a bunch of small ones shouldn't change the amount of update time on a new install, since you're still technically downloading the same amount of data

That's only logical that you download them sequentially one after the other if you haven't played for a long period of time. It's a rational and sensible conclusion. I think even if it isn't as Akuun says and despite the fact that it's the same amount of data it takes longer, that still causes less of an annoyance to fewer people than this method does. The current method is just backwards.
