<br>Personally, I used to just keep a copy of that entire folder, and dump the file back in if I ever reloaded. Being in the UK now I no longer do, but then I'm no longer restricted to the bandwidth confines of SA.<br>
<br>Do yourself a favour and just keep an updated copy of your archives somewhere safe - even if you're not installing/reloading anything soon, the 1-5gb you set aside may well save someone else the trouble of killing their cap on updates :)<br>
