I agree that floppy sized downloads would be nice - it saves a lot of trouble if I have to transport things back to my home computer.
I prefer smaller downloads since at home I'm on dialup connection and large downloads add enormously to the telephone bill - still, I see the point.
I'd be happy with floppies though.
