Q: 

How do others keep a clipart repository up to date?

We have a clipart library with our application, its recently grown in size (based on marketings feedback) to be 2GB of data.

The application installer is now 1GB and really a bit unmanageable for some of the countries we distribute to.

What solutions would you use install and keep a library like that up to date?

+1  A: 

One possibility may be to let customers select subsets (some/all/none) of the library.

However the installer would still be 1GB, the initial download of a 1GB file is a concern to me.

Microsoft has done the same with software updates: it lists them, explains them, says how big they are, and lets the users decide which ones they want.
