14 years agoI'm not sure if you can get seperate download executables anymore.... it has been a while since I have used those.
The downloader was introduced around 2 years ago. It is around 12MB in size and when you run it you choose what you want to install then it will fetch the files you need. To keep the download time low I typically turn off device support for all the FPGAs that I don't need Quartus support for. If you want to reuse the downloaded files on other machines you just copy it over and install it again but point it at the local copy of the files. I think the downloader has a short document explaining how to use it. Not sure where the link is for that though.
