32 gigs is large for a MMO client. But be that as it may, I think this is much ado about what you can't control. If their download scheme is at all contemporary then you will have to use their setup client (20MB) and that will download the files, already compressed or not. What I would do is start the process and see what the actual DL is going to amount to either in size or time and then decide from there if you want to continue.

120MB Connection, no usage limits, I pay no attention to filesize anymore.

Comcast has a 250 GB monthly limit so I think twice before using 20+ gigs of it all at once.
