Well, BitTorrent pretty much solved this problem a decade ago. I imagine that you can download a base image, and then have a torrent sync in the background.

Most people have 100 GB free on their hard disk indefinitely these days, so why not?

That used to be true, but I rather not waste 100gb of my SSD in case I wanted the source code to VIM.
