    Description

      This step happens every time I open the installer, which is fine if I haven't used it for hours, but if I used it 10 seconds ago, it shouldn't have to take 30 seconds to download meta information. The time the download takes seem to be the same regardless of how recently it occurred, which suggests that it's not very efficient. If the packages are identified by some kind of hash, then this process should be almost instant.
