For Faster-Whisper-XXL, are we supposed to download the full > 1 GB file every time there's an update?

For Faster-Whisper, the update size is usually ~ 100 MB, which only has the (I assumed) updated components and I just need to replace the old ones. I'm wondering if there's a quicker/lighter way to update Faster-Whisper-XXL?

Yes.

Those are/were not updates per se, but whole updated program too as "XXL". It was smaller because it didn't had "XXL" features and cuBLAS + cuDNN.

I'm wondering if there's a quicker/lighter way to update Faster-Whisper-XXL?

There could be if I would provide just an incremental patch.
