What's with the a,b,c thing? In any case after downloading two updates in two days I'll wait till they post a stable patch since I do not have unlimited bandwidth.

Should I download this patch, or will another build come up in the next five minutes?

Big compliment to the developer(s) (and/or the GOG-Staff) for bug-fixing and stuff! :)
But I'll wait until this flood of updates will come to an end and download the big package then. Would be nice if you tell us when it's finished. ;)
