>arch-delta upgrades arch installations using ~83.97%* less bandwidth by only downloading the difference between package versions. This post is more of a technical overview, for people interested in programming and rust. Read the sister post if you want to know what this is about or you use arch btw. I will give an overview of the project. If people are interested I might do deeper dives into some aspects in later posts.

What bothers me about pamac is downloading around a 100mb plus of repository data even if you used it a few hours ago maybe change that to check daily or weekly instead of every time you open it. That would save bandwidth.

DNF/YUM and APT all use a cache. You can expire it manually if you want/need to but I think it only updates either weekly or monthly by default.
