Now I have an idea, I think it will be up to 2 Gb.

1. It won't be 8-10 gigabytes big. I guess it'll be 800MB-2GB.
2. There has been a discussion about this right now.

There is a chance Nadeo might add an installer to TM², so you can pause and continue your download without losing your progress, like on Steam, then you can turn your computer off without needing to worry that the download might be stopped without being able to resume it
And even if there will be no installer, you can still save your downloading progress. There's a Firefox add-on called DownThemAll!, where you can pause your downloads and continue them again at every time. You just need to download and install that add-on, that's all
(Edit: And the download server also needs to support interrupting downloads!)
3. There won't be a boxed version, Nadeo already confirmed that. So you need to download.

the addon is only usesable when the server supports to continue downloads, for example uploaded.to and other filesharing sides dont support that ( no premium account) and on tm2 nothing is decided yet ( what we know)

This is true, however, I don't think that TM will essentially be hosting their files on a Megaupload-like filehost. Since they've got Ubi's financial power, I'm sure they'll just allocate an official server for them, with resume capabilities. If DL's the only option, it would be silly to do anything other.

right, but my point was that (hopefully) Ubisoft/Nadeo servers will have the tool to stop downloads and finish them a day later for example

but for me it's no problem, I have 1700 kb/s and I'm downloading 1 gb/ hour, so I have Tm2 in 20-30 Minutes.

Ubisoft will most likely distribute the games via Digital River.
