It's actually a pain in the butt to run anything but release firefox on Arch, because you either need to use a 3rd party repo or some AUR wrapper to auto-update the aur package.
That, and Nightly is kind of painful because its a 60MB update daily. I'm probably going to be skipping a lot of updates on it =P

The other option is to `chown` the package directory, and Nightly will handle auto-updating. I only run on a 1 Mbit connection and I hardly notice when Nightly chooses to download the update on my Arch box, even while I'm actively browsing.

The entire binary is ~32-33MB...I've never received an update that large.

Is that a Linux/Arch specific problem? On OSX it'll download partial updates at just a few MB -- at least so long as you really do keep it updated nightly.
Well if you use the system package manager, and it doesn't support and use differential updates, then you have to download the whole package from your distribution's repository.
