I am planning to download the latest QGIS (2.18) to have a play and see what the fuss is about.I have found the on the QGIS website which includes the installer I think I need - QGIS Standalone Installer Version 2.18 (64 bit) - however the filesize seems a little small to me at 350mb. (I had expected 1.5gb-2gb)I have very very slow internet and am hesitant to download something that may turn out to be a web installer that then downloads the different software components as part of the install. I would prefer something where I can download the full package and be able to reinstall as required without having to re-download.Is the QGIS Standalone Installer Version 2.18 (64 bit) the full install file, or is there another full package I should download instead?I'm running Windows 10 64 bit.

QGIS standalone installer has a small file size because other functions (plugins) can be downloaded from inside QGIS when you need them.

The size of profiletool-3.7.1.zip that was downloaded is just 33kb. You can keep the downloaded plugins on a separate external folder to use them later.The downside of this method that you need to update the plugins manually following the same process. But from the Plugin manager inside QGIS, you just receive a notice of which plugins need to be updated and they can be updated easily.The size of the downloaded plugins are very small from kilobytes to megabyte depending on the number of plugins you download.
