It's 107 GB now.

It would be great to be able to download only diffs and apply them to a daily, weekly, monthly baseline.

I wonder if the compressed Hilbert ordering inside the tiles make them hard to diff efficiently.

The ordering applies across tiles, and not within - it should be efficient to diff two archives because there is a single, well-defined ordering over the entire archive, and writing algorithms over the tileset is all 1D operations instead of 2D (a single zoom level plane) or 3D (multiple planes)

Hmm I was just going off the Firefox estimate, maybe there's some browser difference?

The newest major version has moved to a daily build channel (the last major version was last updated in April)

Today 10/23 is 107GB.

I'll update the documentation page today.
