Yeah, this is basically my conclusion. I strongly doubt it'll ever be
possible to achieve an acceptable level of magic detection here. Even
connections that aren't *tethered* could certainly have data transfer
caps for one reason or another. Just assuming you can go ahead and
download as many GB of updates as you like without any kind of prior
warning or even notification while the download is ongoing is a really
bad idea.
