No need to regenerate the entire FastDL every single time, far more preferable to only move and compress files that don't have an existing *.bz2 version.

And how would it know that a plugin/file was updated then? Making a txt file with md5sum for each file?
Then checking md5sum would use the same time than creating the bz2 again.

CS:GO, at least, doesn't do this either. For a FastDL you'd be required to change the file name if you change the contents of a file / skin / etc. You wouldn't need to do anything, you'd expect the user to change the filename themselves if they wanted to regenerate it.

(With CS:GO you will get something like "Map differs from local: somemap.bsp.bz2")

Historically, FastDL was asking if you wanted to clean old fastdl content, and it would skip already existing files. Though this is a problem for plugin developers and users of plugins that have files changing frequently (especially with gmod), and people preferred the command with less prompts.

@UltimateByte Would it be quick for you to find the commit that changed it? Perhaps I can just grab the older code and create my own fork of LGSM :)
