I know, but I only have slow mobile data. To be honest I thought the update would be larger than 60MB. I probably confused Firefox with some other, larger package I wanted to avoid downloading besides supertuxkart and libreoffice-still.

The whole package is just 63 MB in Arch's repos, not calculating the dependencies. I'd imagine there to be a solution to filtering those packages from updating with the normal update command, whatever package manager you may be using.
