Although one could probably argue that users should be paying attention to what they're doing, the "re-download" on navigation could potentially have a nasty side-effect. Many Qt users (myself included) live in countries where access to uncapped bandwidth is not a given and it could mean a nasty internet bill if you accidentally trigger an additional download that pushes you over your cap (e.g. many of my colleagues have 3 - 5 GB monthly caps so an extra ~700MB obviously makes a big difference). Perhaps just something to consider :)
