It is clear that our installer has been growing in size exponentially over the last year or two. This is due to the increased number of devices Altera is producing, the increased complexity of the devices, and the tradeoffs we make to improve compile times. So yes, we understand we need to do something about it, and are looking at several ideas, including peer-to-peer, partitioning the installer into multiple files (one download per device family), etc. We are also looking at improving the current Download Manager we use, which does not support some of the new browsers, and creates a lot of the reported problems. Thanks for your feedback
