PS: I thought it was just going to update, not download the entire thing again
That's it.
The way it does it - is to get it all over again and replace the executable binaries, libraries etc. that are required for calibre to run.
it's easyer this way. If not - the system would have to first take a snapshot of your current installation, compare with the remote site, generate a diff, and download the parts that are required. Makes it way more complex.
