When I run software update, it says it is updating the repositories and this takes some time (seemingly a long time). Tonight I noticed that it claims to be downloading at over 600 k(something)/second. That seems to me to be sufficiently fast that the changes in the repositories since the last time I donloaded them (yesterday) should take almost no time.
It doesn't download the "changes", it downloads some big files, fully.

If it's up to me, stick to proper phrasing. Makes understanding others a bit less complicated IMNSHO. OT. 1 Byte = 8 bits, a factor 8. Which can make a difference in speed experience. Which repos are we talking about? The distro's repodata are > 100 MB AFAIK, but it's useless to refresh those repos, since they don't change after release. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
