What CAN probably easily be done would be to eliminate the HiDPI (128x128) icons from the tarball.. of course, at the cost of users having a HiDPI screen. This would cut the size of appdata -icons.tar.gz down to 2.6MB from 7.5MB (I tried changing it to .xz or .bz2; it's not worth the efforts)
So, the question basically boils down to: do we want to have proper support for HiDPI in our setup or do we not care for those users.

As a HiDPI user I say yes we do (and lets face it, there will be more and more HiDPI users soon).
A possible solution could be to make the appdata-icons.tar.gz into a "delta" - How hard / how much work that would be I have no clue, so sorry for making a "someone else has to do x" suggestion.
Good point. Our software stack already supports delta downloads for repo metadata, we should also enable this for the appdata icons.
I'll tweak the scripts on the download redirector.
Cheers, Michael.
I have just compared the appdata-icons.tar.gz from the last two snapshots. These just differ by 3 bytes, which are the 3 lower bytes of the timestamp (seconds since epoch). stb@sbruens-linux:~> hexdump -C -n 10 appdata-icons.tar.gz 00000000 1f 8b 08 00 01 e3 75 55 00 03 |......uU..| 0000000a stb@sbruens-linux:~> hexdump -C -n 10 appdata-icons_2015-06-07.tar.gz 00000000 1f 8b 08 00 8a 6b 74 55 00 03 |.....ktU..| 0000000a cmp -l -i 7 appdata-icons_2015-06-07.tar.gz appdata-icons.tar.gz && echo equal equal cmp -l -i 0 appdata-icons_2015-06-07.tar.gz appdata-icons.tar.gz && echo equal 5 212 1 6 153 343 7 164 165 file appdata-icons_2015-06-07.tar.gz appdata-icons_2015-06-07.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, last modified: Sun Jun 7 18:04:26 2015, from Unix file appdata-icons.tar.gz appdata-icons.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, last modified: Mon Jun 8 20:46:25 2015, from Unix xdelta3 is able to create a 91 byte diff file for these, but best would be to skip the update.
