Well, today I decided to switch from Mountain Lion to Mavericks; the
estimated download time on my iMac is 2 hours 30 minutes, and the
download thermometer is now at "3.38 GB of 5.29 GB".  But this is
_not_ my trouble, I mean _having_to_wait_ *once* is not my trouble.

I have here *three* macs: an iMac, a MacBook, and the MacBook of a
friend; willing to upgrade all these computers to Mavericks, I'll have
to wait seven hours and a half.

My shy suggestion to the Apple wizards is: in cases like this, please,
make available a single file: mayge a dmg image containing an
installer, that could be downloaded from the WAN just once; and then
quickly transferred, in minutes, to the other computers of the LAN.  I
think that that would be a clean and easy solution.
