that is what bibisect repo are for.
downloading 100 to 200MB per iteration is not a nice solution for anyone.
bibsect repo are bigger to start with.. so the initial setup is
slower... but after that the bisection can be done completely offline
I do not have data for windows.. but for mac, I'm putting the
finishing touch to a bibisect repo for the 4-2 series... which contain
so far 2559 builds for 5GB.


iow such nice gui wrapper should really use a bibisect repo under the
cover rather than downloading daily builds...

of course windows pose 'special' challenge... a bibisect repo for
windows should not accumulate msi fiels as they do not lend themself
well to compression in git
but SI-GUI could probably be tauch to use a 'pre-installed' version...
doing wahtever tweak windows need in the cover to fake a 'real'
install when one switch from one version to the other in the bibisect
repo
