Why do some companies like using installers where you download a small app which downloads the full package?  I can see an advantage in some circumstances, where you only download certain components, but most of the time, I find that there's really no advantage.  And then the disadvantages kick in - you can't distribute the package, to say, someone without an internet connection (or with a crappy one), and if you ever need to reinstall, you're going to have to redownload the whole damn thing again.

People trying to be annoying?
