FwF, Both The Linux and Mac versions download th Full VPS file (400.vps) on each update, Incremental update are coming eventually in future versions
Hallo,
incremental updates are ready, and I already offered a testing package months ago (
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=37582.0).
Because there's at the moment no Linux-dedicated infrastructure on our download servers, this testing binary pretends to be Avast Pro
.
let's check it - if you are bothered by downloading updates in non-incremental way, the binary from the testing package will do this for you in an incremental way.
as igor wrote, the first *NIX product with incremental updates will be the forthcoming Mac version. The core was already released, is capable of incremental updates, but when plugged (in this testing stage) to the old version, this feature won't be utilized yet.
regards,
pc
