I think its a hangover from the old days.
Version 6 was written in the days when most ppl had dialups, and the update
file was almost always a couple of megs.
Later versions of 6 and all of 7 are now updated by (usually) small
patches, and anyway nost ppl have broadband so I usually set mine to look
for updates every day.
