How many downloads/day do we see currently? I think you said it's on the
order of a few thousand, so nowhere near 30k I'd guess. Anyway I can mirror
it if we need to.

The JavaFX packager is supposed to delete parts of the JVM that aren't
used. Is the 30-40mb figure based on using that tool or something else?
Note that you don't need to use the JFX widget toolkit to use the bundler
tool.

We could also invest in a copy of JET, which does native compilation down
to self contained Windows binaries. It might create smaller bundles. But,
it's a proprietary tool and I don't know how reproducible its outputs are.

For the auto update, is there an existing auto update framework that we can
modify to support threshold signed updates? I'm sure such a thing must
exist. The updates would download in the background and then the app can
just ask the user to restart it once the update is locally available, as
Chrome does.

<br>
There are a few downsides though:<br>

+ it will bump up the MultiBit download from about 11MB to 30-40MB<br>
(I think). This drops the maximum copies of MultiBit the <a href=3D"http://=

The <a href=3D"http://multibit.org" target=3D"_blank">multibit.org</a> serv=

<br>
Currently there is no provision to update anything automatically.<br>
I would like to start having Bitcoin signed files that MultiBit can<br>

and update (initially the checkpoints file, I18N files - NOT code<br>
at first because of the security implications). I think this needs to be<br=

in place before bundling a JVM so that users don&#39;t have to<br>

<br>
Having lists of all the artifacts signed and them having SHA256 hashes<br>
then makes it practical/ safe to start mirroring the code. I can see<br>
each mirror crosschecking the others that the SHA256s are correct<br>
for instance. This would increase the maximum number of<br>
downloads we could cope with.<br>
