I prefer to do full downloads even on Windows, because this way I am receiving more consistent game distribution.
Also, you might want to google "gogrepo" and start using it.

Also, I have yet to receive a blue dot for this game, in spite of at least 5 updates since the big turn-based update. In any case, I also always download full versions, even for Windows games that supply patches, but it is kind of a pain when the biggest games I own keep getting updated right now, when my Internet connection is at its worst. It will take me at least a week to update this game, and there is one other that is even bigger in the queue.
