Word 'irony' says something to you? ;)

Yes, people who sync kde or gnome do it pretty often(new releases common thing). Why don't we stop them?
Because repository exist for downloading from it(unexpectadly, yeah?). 
I'm downloading about 25-30 packages every night(OH MY GOD SUCH A WASTE!!). Let's start again - do you REALLY think it's too wasteful? ;)
