> But i could be wrong. So you get only those daily 200-300mb and never bigger downloads during the year if CCP releases stuff and expansions? It only starts buffering again if needed?

I mostly get little MiB updates, though every once in a while I’ll get some big GiB updates..

Over the years there’s been multiple threads about this subject… In Jan of this year, somebody made a statement which made me look up the research I did in 2024 on Launcher activity…
