Game client download size vs installation size

Hi All,

I was just wondering a bit: Why does one have to download 6.6 GB(!!)
of game client and the installation only needs 1.6 GB.

In addition after first launch of the game there is a 200 MB update.

I am not a world of warcraft fan BUT: when you want to play the
WoW trial you need to download 60 MB (that is a 1:100 compared
to Star Trek Online) and then it downloads on demand.

With Star trek online the policy is the other way round: download 3 times
as much as you need ... I hope this does not scale to the quality of the
whole game!

Cheers
