Warning if huge download needed

[Guest]

Would it be possible to give a warning when an update is going to be huge? I have quite a slow connection due to where I now live in the world and, this morning, updated, as was suggested by Comodo, and it downloaded over 110 MB and it took ages. I don't mind downloading such a large amount but would like to know if it's going to be so big so I can do my usual morning Internet stuff and then let it download.

I never know how big the update is going to be and once it's downloaded more than 10MBish I don't want to cancel it cos I'd then just have to download it all again. I'd just like to know so I can schedule when I do the download if ya see what I mean.

Thanks!

Only the initial database update when first installing CIS is large (it must download around 104mb). After that it should only be quick, short updates a few times daily. Is this the first time you've updated the anti virus database?

No, it's not the first time, it's been updating itself several times a day for months and months. It usually is short and sweet, but yesterday, for some reason, it was an update which required me to "restart my computer for the updates to take effect" and was over 100 MB. Maybe it needed to download the whole database again for some reason?

Thanks for your reply.

It definitely sounds like it, but I'm not sure why it would need to do that. Anyway, is it updating normally again?

Yes, it's back to normal now. I thought it may have been a special update on that particular day and just wondered if you could add a warning if such things are necessary.

Thanks for your reply.
