I agree that 810MB from the original 7.0 seems a little excessive.

I wonder if it really needed all that or if the little bit it needed was simply part of a larger
whole. But because it was going back out to the IBM repositories, for whatever reason IM had to
download the whole thing.

When I updated my local repository to 7.0.0.2, I remember it asking to use the 7.0.0.0 repository.
IIRC, it doesn't seem like it took long enough to pull in a full 810MB.

But IBM would be the one with the answers.
