The current .exe file is around 7meg (I think, been awhile since I looked). I doubt a patch would be much bigger than that, depending on what they patch. If it was spreadsheets only, a bunch of text files wouldn't be that big.

Its a very modular game so I don't think you have to worry too much. Now if they had to redo a whole lot of movies or artwork you'd be in trouble...

I use a dial-up service for my internet connection. I just start large downloads at night (with the disconnect when finished option checked) and then go to bed. In the morning - there's my file and no phone-line tie up hassles.

It's even better to have cable.
When I had dial-up back in the day, I would use utilities like GoZilla. It would let you resume a download in case you were disconnected, that way you didn't have to start all over. It was a relief to have it most of the time. I did hate the ads that came along with it, oh well nothings pefectly free.
