I just went and installed everything with texlive in the name. A few were
less than 1KB, a few over 1GB. Download speed peaked at less than 3MB/s.
My Internet is a fiber connection with symmetric gigabit. However, I think
picking at this info is the wrong tack. I am of the opinion this should be
considered in the abstract and general to keep away from my situation and
to more apply towards all use cases.
